Daily drivability with a Z06 that has this setup? ================================================== ========
ENGINE
· AFR 205 heads w/Comp 921 springs (milled to 59cc for 11.5 compression)
· LG Motorsports G5-X4 cam
· FAST 90 intake with ported 90mm LS2 throttle body (both ported by Vengeance Racing)
· Callaway Honker Cold Air Intake
· 36# injectors, ASP underdrive pulley, G2 super wires, Comp R Lifters, 160 Degree t-stat
EXHAUST
· B&B PRT exhaust with quad oval tips
· LGM Pro Longtube 1 3/4" headers with 3" X-pipe, no cats
TRANNY/REAR DIFF /CHASSIS
· RPM Level V transmission including solid keys, bronze fork pads, steel 3-4 shifter fork, RPM modified 1-2 shifter fork, hand fit sliders and hubs, and new compressed carbon blocking rings, micro-polished internals plus 9310 Mainshaft
· C6 shift **** w/MTI short throw shifter
· RPM differential with 3.90 gears, right and left G-Force 300M hardened half shafts, gear and cross-pin, heavy-duty 14 carbon clutch kit, all internals micro-polished
· VBP poly differential mount
· Textrailia clutch w/billet flywheel
· QA1 adjustable rear shocks
· DTE Differential Strut brace
· Lingenfelter Battery Relocation kit
· Cartek Line Lock
Dyno'd close to 500whp
================================================== ========
I plan to buy this car and drive it all day every day when it's nice, they get stellar mileage to begin with so what drivability/fuel economy am I looking at losing vs. a stock C5 Z06?

It all depends on the tune and your personal opinion on daily drivability. If you can keep your foot out of it, it should'nt drink too much more gas, unless you do alot of city driving. Then it will be considerably harder on gas. The tune also plays a huge part in this too.
