I want to do this package but still want driveability. Also, what kind of gain should I expect?
Drivability is really dependent on one's tolerance levels but there are some truly streetable/daily drivable heads and cam cars out there for sure.
A good heads and cam package can deliver anywhere from an extra 80rwhp (mild) on up to an extra 150rwhp (radical cam).
Among the many set ups/combos available, Cartek Racing (www.cartek.net) has an excellent reputation with all areas of performance with late model Corvettes and does specialize in well balanced heads and cam packages.
I gained 107 rwhp and 75 rwtq with a DTE H/C package. I went with a mild cam and told Phil that driveability and reliability were my main concern and the numbers were secondary.
