C6 corvette H/C/I
Hello,
Question for you all. Looking at a 2008 corvette 6 speed manual with 50k miles. It has heads, cam, and Intake done to it. It also comes with arp hardware, spring valves, rocker arms, pushrods, ls7 lifters, etc. Can this car be daily driven and how reliable will it be is my main question?

Thats a pretty open ended question. It depends on what heads and cam... any info on the setup?

Need to do some more research, very broad range there. TSP sells everything from super mild streetable cams to radical max effort cams that wont idle on pump gas.

Yeah that is a big open question 
A lot of it depends on how tolerant you are to a modded car. In general, the bigger the cam, the 'worse' drivability and mpg's. Now, good tuning makes a world of difference, and some people don't mind a bit driving a high strung car. My cam is 'large' not 'huge', careful tuning made a great difference in how easy it is to baby it around town, take off from a stop etc.
