Ever drive a car with stage 3 cams in traffic daily? I would advise against it.
Cams and long tubes on long hauls

Your car is not going to want to idle for any length of time. If you have been to the drag strip and see the guys in the staging lanes start there car 3 times and it stalls out before they can get RPM up, that's what you would be dealing with... Maybe something less extreme than stage 3 could work well for you.

Don't do it.
I have stage two cams and while my cars is driveable it is not quite as driveable as stock. I have to ride the clutch more at low rpms. Stage three is for racing applications and even Comp does not recommend them for street use. The stage two will do every thing you need and it will be driveable. Disregard this advice at your own peril.

Check out Chuckstang on SVTperformance. Ask someone that has stage 3 comp cams.

You will still retain some of the variable cam timing so it won't be as non driver friendly as a fixed position cam push rod motor.

What he said. Been there, done that, never again.
I have done everything they did in the magazine article and more. The only difference is I went Stage two. Magazine articles do not give us accurate driveability info. They have a conflict because they review the same products for the same manufacturers that advertise with them. To the OP: If you want a driveable car that does not stall out at low rpms then stick to the stage two. I have no conflict of interest in telling you this. Forums exists precisely for this reason.Check out Chuckstang on SVTperformance. Ask someone that has stage 3 comp cams.

I reference the article just for information. He can go over to SVTperformance and contact chuck if he is interested in talking to someone with street driving experience on stage 3 comp cam car.
There is another guy in this thread that has them also:
Got some Comp cams Stage III installed in the car - SVTPerformance
Yeah not fun. Altitude changes effect them dramatically as well. So be prepared to have multiple maps. I just went down to San Diego from 4000ft+ and it was stalling 2-3 times every start before the rpms would settle down. That was without AC, can't imagine the extra load.
Honestly, as cool as the burble sounds pulling up to stoplights, it was very very very annoying. To the point where I'm driving a rental car this next business trip.
