What the heck are you trying to ask? "C5 Driver", that meaning a C5 you actually drive? Doesn't everybody drive theirs? You want more only on weekends or you want more all the time?

Hi jmX

What I mean a driver is . My wife uses it for work and I play on weekends. With her driving the Freeways most of the time I need the reliability and I am not sure If I do this or that will I screw things UP. I was think of gears change,possible cam and heads. Some of the air intake is done. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I have GTP heads and the TR 227/224 cam, and an otherwise bone stock exhaust and make 393rwhp. Car is nearly as quiet as stock and drives good enough to let somebody that has never driven it across the country. I've had heads/cam ls1's for 2.5 years now and never one engine problem.

The headers make the car a lot louder, so if you just want more power but want the car to look/feel/sound OEM, go with the heads/cam/intake and leave everything else stock.

Sorry for the confusion. The Tilelist on the sig is a joke <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> . I'm a consultant so I end up with free time in a lot of different places and I have clubs in the car so I can hit the local course where ever that may be. (It's like they are installed in my C5)
The other part was about "What can I do to my car?" When I was new I asked about the same thing. There must be 50 threads like this. I was just suggesting searching and reading a bit, to get some ideas.
