Street ride only, weekend car only, Mn6 speed 06 coupe, want good low end torque that will pull thru a good range. But I also want a great sounding cam, I'm thinking 100 more HP would do it for me. Would do long tubes and tune also. But what size headers?

Go with CYA Vette's recommendations regards to head/cam...that cam will have all your looking for and not as much of "bad" cam side affects. Do 1 7/8 long tube and definitely get a tune....
You will be about 440whp +/- 5 hp.

Great cam with great drivabitlity. Give you the power your looking for without the extra money spent on heads.

I agree that headers add more and should be done with H&C if conditions permit. But in California, Oregon, Washington, and many other urban areas, headers cause you to automatically flunk visual.
It's too bad no one has come up with the idea of a fake aluminum heat shield that would hide the pipes.

with corsas and header = 350 rwhp
added AFR 225 heads and 224/230 581/592 114LSA cam = 443 rwhp
nice lope, great sounding and plenty of power.

So the headers are not essential. The stock C6 exhaust flows much better than people think. The limitation on the LS2, by design, is the cam and to a lesser extent, the heads. That's where the power is.

matter what anyone told me. Those numbers are not the norm.
But I'm glad people in those smog cities still can get decent numbers.
I'd like to see the graph to compare curves...

I would suggest the Vette Doctors Headers that I believe AA Andy installs ...
They go on and off so easy you could if you in fact fail emissions visual just have them removed and then reinstalled for probably 500 dollars to just pass the test....
I seriously think you could pass with them on the car but if not...the installation and removal is so easy that would be the route I'd recommend...

heads and cam
I Just Did My Heads And Cam Last Week On My 03 Z06. I Did A Base Line Of 370 Horse And It Went Up To 475rwhp. I Did The Afr 205 And The G5x3 On A 114 Lsa, The Tuner Was Very Impressed With The Outcome And Did A Conservitive Tune. He Set The Rev To 6600 But Could Definitely Pull Past That. Do A Baseline Dyno And See Where Your At And Go Back To The Same Dyno After The Work So The Results Will Be Correct.
