I have Cartek's stage 2x package and it is very street driveable. The Idle has some lope with the 2x cam thats installed, however I have taken the car on a 1500 mile trip with no problems and got around 25 mpg. They've been doing all my work and I am very satisfied with everything they've done. Give Dave a call, he'll answer any questions you might have. BTW they are having a sale on the head and cam packages right now.

depends on your budget
A good tuner usually charges about 2500 dollars to modify your heads.
A really good set of LS1 ported heads is about as good as the 2200 dollar AFR heads.
Personally, I would spend the money on the AFRs.
