Whatever you do, don't believe the bs that is floating over CF about weak rockers on these cars. Any reputable cam package will come with springs and as long as a shop is competent and careful a cam swap is not a major proceedure. Where the real difference comes in is with the tuning, as this makes or breaks a car. I have seen good and bad posts on every corvette-related forum about any and every vendor you can think of.
VD has a solid reputation, but you might be closer to ECS which might be easier for follow-up work. I have found that no matter who does the work, you will always need some touch-ups down the road, and you have decide if it's better to schlep to VD or a tuner closer to you. Honestly, I really think that all the tuners are about the same at the end of the day. Of course, I use a no-name guy for my work, just because after using 2 of the smaller corvette-related shops I had mediocre results.
I have a Katech cam in my car. Great cam, but it's just a compcams grind with off-the-shelf springs (albeit twice the price since I ordered it from Katech). Good combo, very happy with it.
