Which Cam/Head package to get???
https://www.texas-speed.com/c-3237-c...tte-2002.aspx#
Out of these which should I get? Right now my 02 C5 base is completely stock. I plan on getting intake, exhaust, x-pipe, long tubes, hi-flow cats. Wondering which cam package to get along with what cams and all that. Will be mostly driving on the street no racing or tracking.

you would be amazed what that car will do with a 3.42 rear gear and some nice bolt ons and a great tune
i would look into doing these mods first which will help take to the next step CAM or HEADS or BOTH BTW are you looking to do the yourself or a shop ?

well do you have a M6 or Auto if your running a auto trans check and see what rear gear you have ? if you don't know look for your RPO codes in your glove box and post a pic .

I have an M6. Also I was going to have a shop do the install for head and cams. I can do the other minor mods myself like exhaust, intake, headers etc.
Which bolt ons?
