If you want a little extra power, choose the LS3/525 and the matching GM harness and ECU. That cam is gentle on valve train parts, sounds great, and has an excellent torque curve. You'll save a bunch of money, and have an engine that makes more power than the average person can handle.
Or...for that same (roughly) money as that "custom" LS3, I would do a LSA. Again, with the GM ECU and harness.
That's just my 2 cents on the subject.

I ran a built LS7 in my last 69 approx 640 HP with a T56
My new car is an LS3/525 with a T56 Magnum F9 with 3.70 and 335/30/18s
It runs better on the street at lower rpm (taking off from stops and cruising) then the LS7 with the big cam and honestly feels just as strong.
Plug and play with the GM Performance and ECM.
I just added a Holley Mid Rise intake more for looks then power.
