Well if you get a cam ground after you flow your heads, you'll have the best efficiency by having it matched to the flow.
Oh and if you think a 408 would get poor fuel economy...don't be getting a supercharger!

(i just have to install him a stereo system in his 69' buick GS.)

The only difference between the lq4 and lq9 is the piston. Lq4 has a dished piston giving it it's lower CR, lq9 has a flat top. Everything else is the same.
