My Corvette started exhibiting some of the signs (ticking sounds from the heads, blue smoke on startup, etc) knowing that I cant afford to replace a $15,000 engine if I dropped a valve, so I decided to take my Vette up to Vengeance Racing in Cumming, GA this past Friday for Vengeance Racing LS7 Cylinder Head Upgrade. they typically can hand you the Vette back in 24 hours, but I wouldnt be able to get back up there that quick due to work and other stuff. I will be picking the Vette back up on Wednesday the 18th

Yes it is over, didnt want to do this but HAD to , cant afford to risk a $15k engine

Not to mention this divorce will be tightening up my money for a while.

BTW..car runs FREAKING AWESOME. :banana:

Dynoed 502 rwhp / 474 rwtq :chug:

Gained 55 rwhp and 47 rwtq

New tires will be here monday ..LOL seriously new Nitto Invos on the way

What did they charge to do this? I wasn't too worried about my car because it has 8k miles but the more I read online it seems it can happen at as little as 5k miles.

Sending you a PM

Adam if you provide the heads we can do the labor for cheap. We've done several sets of heads cam swaps on the z06. Actually have a local guy we use for street tuning that's real reasonable. He's got a 900+ hp LS based nova.
