What heads and cam are in your ride?
And do you use it for a daily driver, drag strip car, or weekend warrior? If you could change your setup (get a full refund on what you have) would you go with a different heads/cam setup?
This should get interesting

I have the Trick Flow 215cnc heads with a Allen Futral Worked up F14 high lift cam. 234/236-646/612@114LSA. Car made 447rwhp and 403rwtrq through a 4400rpm Stall A4 and a Strange Engineering 12bolt with 4.11 gear in the rearend. I'd say I would do the same thing over again!! This car is not a daily driver more like a weekend warrior car but could DD drive it if I wanted to.

I have a MS4 cam with LS6 stage 1 heads, Nitrous outlet throttle body elbow and a 92mm "BIGMOUTH" atop a victor jr intake manifold. qtp lt, tsp TRUE DUALS......And some other junk. I would say it is a weekend warrior, simply because I have a daily driver and I think if I had to do it all over again, I would have done the same thing.

Stock heads and a TR224. Stock rear, LS6 intake. I switched from !Cat TDs to Catted Y and Magnaflow, and at this moment I am driving the car every day to and from work. The f-body is head and shoulders more reliable than my other form of transportation (knock on wood)

PRC Stage 2.5 5.3L heads with Torquer V2 cam; 92mm FAST intake and 92mm PTM throttle body; I drive it when it rains since it gets 12/28mpg and most of my daily commute is through the city and my daily driver is a motorcycle. I would do it over again in a heartbeat.

I have PRC stage 2.5 LS6 heads and Comp Cams 228/230 .571/.573 112
If I had to do it over, I'd probably just step up to a set of AFR 205's. Maybe get a little bigger cam too.
Oh, and I daily drive this setup. I take it to the strip a few times a year.

i'm not happy with my choice of cams, the ls6 is too mellow. i am happy with my budget heads from TSP. although i should have upgraded springs from the new ls6 they came with. next year i may correct my mistake with a bigger cam. my car runs smooth but low dyno numbers.

My car has TEA stage 1.5 5.7 heads and TR230/236 cam. It made 440/400 through a 9" with 4.10s. I dont daily drive it although I could. I am happy with the setup although when I build my new 454 LSX motor I will be going with TFS heads ported by TEA and a custom Patrick G cam.

stage 1 patriots, thunder racing 228/232 cam, ls6 intake.. was a kind of fun street car for a while.
converting it to drag though, going with BRE Heads, solid roller Cam with a Super Vic intake. through the 6-speed and stock rear it should put down in the 530rwhp range, before I convert it to 3 speed and 9 inch

The car has Absolute Speed stage 2 5.3's.....vintage 2003. Custom Comp Cam 230/236 .592/.602 112 lsa. It made right at 430 rwhp down here in Florida (with our fantastic air). They were probably the best set of heads around at the time...but if given a full refund, I would obviously get a different setup. I love it, there is just so much more out there now.
The car never get driven. About 5K miles since 2003. It has 31K original miles
