Cam Install finished. **Video**
Well I had a cam custom spec'd to go into my C5. Here is what I have so far:
Competition Cams 230/228 .612/.588 110-1,
Underdrive Pulley, LS6 Intake, Ported TB, Long Tubes, Hi-Flow Cats, Borla XR-1
The car pulls extremely hard, and I can see that different tires are definitely in the future as I now have some serious traction issues.
Dyno numbers coming soon......here is a quick video of a cold startup this morning.
If everything goes well, the new differential with the 3:90's will go in next week.

Thanks for the all the positive replys.
Our local shop has dyno nights about once a month, and I plan to get it in then.
So far...I am very happy. The idle in the video was from a cold-start, so after it warms up, it drops a few rpms and really has a nice "chop" to it.

Beleive it or not I actually thought there would be more LOPE with it being in the 110 Lobe seperation
It sounds really good and I'll be looking forward to seeing the numbers from the Dyno runs!
What heads are you running?
Thanks,Matt

I'm currently running the stock heads with no work, although that will change very shortly. I think I will be going with a Livernois Stage 2.
Your right about the sound. But after the car warms up, the idle drops and it really sounds good. But even on a 110 LSA, it only has 9 degrees of overlap. But it's still enough to shake the car at a redlight!
