Sure, start getting together for cruises again after I move off to Huntsville...
![]() I would like to go if I can. Tough to set aside the time right now, though, between getting the house ready to sell and driving back and forth between Odenville and Huntsville.

I dropped the Vette on stock bolts a few days before so now it sits about 3/4 inch lower ![]() Last edited by EZ SPEED; 10-20-2013 at 01:20 PM. |

GM LS7 engines have a valve guide wear/broken exhaust valve issue in OEM form.
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 Vengeance Racing LS7 Cylinder Head upgrade provides you with peace of mind and allows you to once again enjoy your Z06 without concern of pre mature engine failure. Stage I LS7 Cylinder Head Upgrade Includes: VR / WCCH Stage II CNC LS7 Cylinder Heads *Stage II CNC Porting *Competition Valve Job *New Stainless Single Piece Exhaust Valves *Factory Titanium Intake Valves are Cleaned / Inspected / Tumble Polished *Bronze Valve Guides Installed *Cylinder Heads Hot Tanked / Inspected / Assembled *Upgrade to Dual Springs with Titanium retainers GM MLS 7.0 Head Gaskets ARP LS7 Head Bolt Kit GM Valve Cover Gaskets 10.5 qts Royal Purple HPS 10W40 / AC Delco Filter / Dexcool Coolant Custom Tuning by Vengeance Racing

Nahhh, trying to keep this Vette as stock as possible.
Cant really afford to even be doing this right now, going through a divorce and Christmas...too much stuff right now. Vengeance did cut me a hell of a deal, so much so that it really wasnt worth me doing this myself..LOL If it wasnt for my step dad fronting me the $$ I couldnt even be doing this. |
