Head/Cam results
I got my 2000 FRC back from Vengeance Racing recently. First let me say the experience dealing with Ron and the guys at Vengeance was terrific! They were very exact and professional. The car was delivered as promised, and the quality of their work was outstanding. Anyone looking for a good shop in Ga should definitely give them a call 
I had them install a set of TFS heads milled to 59cc, a VRX 5 cam 236/238 .601/.605 113 LSA, FAST 92 ported intake, FAST 36 injectors, Patriot dual gold springs, Yella Terra ultralight rockers, ARP head bolts, ASP UD pulley, ported LS2 TB, ported/shimmed LS2 oil pump, 180* thermostat, LS2 timing chain, Kooks 1 3/4 headers with O/R X and DMH electric cutouts, 04 GM slave and master cylinder, Textralia OZ700 clutch kit, Comp R lifters, TF 7.5 hardened pushrods, and Breathless CAI. The car made 466/422.
I basically use this car as my DD. It has no real driveability issues. The motor runs smooth, and really starts pulling above 3,000rpms. The cutouts are fantastic. I keep them closed and its relatively quiet through the stock catback, crack them a little for an aftermarket catback sound, and open them up for
Don't know what my next step with this car is. Any suggestions are welcomed. I'm leaning towards a set of 4.10s

Some nice numbers!!
If you are running the stock exhaust you could lose some weight and gain some HP/TQ by going with a Z06 Ti exhaust.
If you switch to 4.10s you will be shifting a lot more. Might not be a lot of fun, especially with a DD. I have read that going with 3.90s with the MN6 is about equal to the gearing on a Z06.

Good numbers....

I had Vengeance order them for me.

I really couldn't say since it was dynoed and tuned with them open. I didn't really consider a power gain with them. I just wanted the ability to make it quiet or loud at the push of a button for a lot less than most catbacks, which are of course constant.
