We just installed a set of Comp Cams in an 01 GT this week. Part number was XE270AH. We had to flycut the pistons with these cams. The car was an automatic, but it still picked up 40rwhp with the swap.
We also did a PI head swap on a 97 last week and used a set of the Comp Cams that the customer supplied us with. The part number for the cams was XE262H. Not problem with P/V clearance with these.

Ok guys, the Comp 270's are the ones everyones having trouble with, not the 262's. I've got the 270's in my current motor and had "0" piston to valve clearance.I had to notch the pistons for these to work, but I'm very happy with the results. It has made over 300rwhp with mostly stock heads and an unported bullit intake. If you aren't looking for the most power you can get out of it the 262's or the VT's will be much more simple to install.
330 rwhp wouldn't be too much to expect with the right cams, a good set of heads, and the supporting hardware.

so the comp 262's and the VT heads will net me a nice power gain and i wont have to notch my pitsons?
still havent decided on the P51 intake yet, but i really wanted that rough Idle from my cams. i love the sound of a lumpy ass cam in a V8. that is why i was shooting for the XE274H cams, but from what i am taking i wil have to notch the pistons and that will put my car down for longer than i was wanting.

I'd spring for the largest cam possible.. it would be worth the wait if your looking for the most power..
notching pistons really isnt all that big of a deal.

I'd try to find something a little bigger than the 262's that'll drop in with no clearance issues. I can't seem to find the specs on the VT stage 2's. It's a shame you're looking for something to work with a stock piston, I might consider selling my TEA heads and my Comp 270's.

Beehive springs are must with any decent cam on Mod motors, IMO.
I do not know the specs on VT heads. So, I am assuming they are bare and only ported to a stage 2? Good luck with the build..
