I think thats because most of us dont drive our Corvettes a 1/4 mile all the time most of the time and like higher performance underfoot at all times. Giggle gas does has its place though.

Stop being a girly man and get the Corsa Xtremes 
Dont be scared of the cam my friend. I have a 232/234 .590 lift and it drives like stock in traffic. I have a little bit of stumble sometimes going into neutral where the rpms drop too low, but that is going to be tuned out by SpinMonster next week when I head up to his place to swap diffs with him. Nothing like some lumpedy lump at the light Definately go headers, that is a no brainer.

Definately go headers, that is a no brainer.If I can budget in a cam, I'm probably going that route. A smooth idle is a must, so I'll be talking in depth with the tuner / installer to make sure it's achievable (again, if I can afford it).

The Corsa Xtremes are just nasty..... they are raw, edgy, and harsh. They will not only wake the dead, but send them running out of their graves 
Needless to say, I love them
If you want a smooth idle, I wouldnt even bother with cams. The cams that dont impact idle and dont have any lope to them are not worth the trouble and cost to install in my opinion.

I'm set to get my Corsa Xtremes (traded my Sports last week) and my LG Superpro headers (1 3/4 with cats) tomorrow and a Vararam on Thursday. I'm hoping to install everything on Friday and I have to get an appointment with ECS for this weekend or early next week hopefully. I have heard LT's with the Xtremes and they are SICK!!!!! Still trying to figure out about the 160 stat. I will make a post with pics of the install? atleast the headers. I might throw the Xtremes on tomorrow since it will only take about 10 min since the over the axle pipes are already there because I haven't driven her in over a week.

Visited the LG Motorsports shop yesterday and had a good conversation with Bobby about their mild cam and pro headers. Waiting on a quote before deciding how far to go with things. The suspense is killing me! 
Aluminum gas and dead pedal ordered, too.
Modding sure is fun!
