I guess some shops will have their preferred packages to install, based on their experiences and results. And, of course, the tuning will probably have to be tweaked as well.

I wish there were a lot of shops to choose from for Corvette work, but honestly, I can't think of a single one I would recommend today to anyone.

Doing it "just because", or are you experiencing a problem with the existing heads and cam? Hopefully it's the former........

I believe that most people replace their heads and cam because they WANT TO, and not because they NEED to.... Unless they are trying to justify it to the spouse.

I just want a touch more power. Not wanting a super charger or spending 9k to get one. I can't keep it on the ground with what i have now. So my thinking was a GS C6. Just too scared to deal with a C7 and all the trans and T/C problems they have.

So i can pay to have my car put back to stock and change my stuff over to a GS as no dealer would take my car with no cats. Or just try to sell on CL. Or just keep what i got and add a little more power.

You do know that there is no end to the quest for a "touch more power", don't you?

That is why I don't even start down that path with the C6Z. I nearly drowned when I went overboard with the C5Z.
