As Don had said, there expertise in the late model stuff is less than superior.

However sometimes I think the way that happens is someone grabs the wrong cam off the shelf. All of our cams we do at modern muscle are a custom grind and come direct from Comp. As Justin stated above they have a great lobe catalog that most everyone uses when designing a cam.

Comp is a great company in general, they have a strong product line and lately it seems like they own everything but their cam help seems to be more geared towards the early model generations. The technology of the car and approach has changed when designing a cam when comparing it to early model cars.

The best place to go for a cam is a place that specializes in your platform and builds these cars for a living. For example we are very familiar with the differences between the LS2 and LS3 platforms and what should be done in order to compensate for those differences.

Don't forget to ask your wife or significant other if it matters . I like it when they say..."Why do you always smell like gas after you drive your car?"

Lots of great cams out there. I always have Futral Motorsports custom spec one our for me and they prefer Cam Motion for their grinds. Oh and please don't select a cam based on how it might "sound".
