How fast on manifolds?
Is it incredibly unreasonable to expect 11s with cam, LS6 intake, and converter? More than likely the heads would get touched up and milled, but nothing close to a real set of CNC ported heads..
I don't want to go to headers right now.. it may eventually happen.. but that will definitely be something that would happen AFTER the above.
Already have some 241's with Patriot Golds and LS6 intake off the Z28 as well as cam swap pieces. Just need to pick up cam and converter pretty much.
Not sure where I want to be cam/converter-wise. Went high 11's in my M6 F-body.. not sure how different it feels to drive an A4 with a converter. This time I want to do that but way quieter.
No power adders.. I know I can spray it and get there, but filling bottles gets annoying, and getting into an overkill blower project is what ended up getting me out of my F-body and into the C5.
Those of you that have done this.. post up what cam/converter combos you used.

I'm in the same boat as you are, I want it quiet and fast.
I used the new 505hp C6 Z06 stainless manifolds, cats and H-pipe in my C5 and am very happy with the results. Nice SOTP improvement and very reasonable sound increase at WOT.
The swap is basicly a bolt in swap besides the welding of the 3" H-pipe to the 2.5" H-Pipe of the C5 to keep the stock (or aftermarket) C5 mufflers.
I'll be on the dyno shortly and see what my mods are worth.
