If moneys not an issue then you can get a aftermarket set of heads with upgraded springs .650'' installed by a perfomance shop shipped to you ready to bolt on.

The two videos shows the same cam ..1 step above the G5X3 ..A G5X4 running 11's and cruising around ..what more could you want . The reason the camaro doesnt hold a idle is because the tuner is lazy on his own stuff.A G5X3 with a 112LSA would be even more street friendly.

look at the MS3&4 and the g5x3&4 and if none of those seem to have what you are looking for then i might consider a T-REX

That yellow Vette in the videos is mine. (Y2Kvert4me is my nick on the Corvetteforum).

Just to qualify that "cruising around" video, that was the very first time I'd driven the car after the change from the stock cam to the X4, and the car was also completely untuned. You can see some scanning was being done during that drive, but nothing was uploaded prior to that drive.

That vid was not really done to impress anyone, it was a short drive to do some data logging, and I was still very much getting a feel for the car's new manners. The only thing impressive about it, is it shows the fact the car can be driven rather sedately in traffic with no problem.

As for stock heads, they were in that vid, but I'm currently in the process of upgrading to 59cc TEA stage2 5.3's and flycutting..
