There are plenty of FI applications for the LS3 as it sits in the Corvette. Some even as high as 8psi. Most are 7psi. So long as it's tuned properly, and you're using premium+ fuel...you could probably go to 10psi without a problem.

I want to say I've read that you barely notice the cam over a stock engine.
