I thought about both, but it's extra $$ for a return beyond what I need I think. Trying to get the most for the least, doesn't need to be the biggest power motor out there though.

I've been doing more reading, and it seems like the more reputable tuners on the L99's (simlar vvt/compression motor in Camaro w/ auto) don't want to go above 9 lbs of boost either, and get 510ish RWHP on stock motor. Looks like w/ stock cam that's best I'd see as well w/ any safety.

Putting all this together then, I'm thinking dropping the VVT for a BTR stage 3 with new springs, stock LSA boost of 9 lbs and a good tune should get me to 650 crank at least? Stock balancer is cheaper than the Texas speed over drive so that helps fund the better cam.
