Chad, great to hear from you...yeah, some concerns about the CHE guides...I will wait a little longer then yank the heads off and check them...Call me when you get a chance, I do not have your current number...Regards, John
CHE has been manufacturing valve train components for over 30 years and manufactures precision valve guides for all applications of racing. CHE has NOT had problems with excessive valve guide wear in ANY application the guides are being properly used in.
The following situations can cause improper wear:
1. The valve manufacturers do not micro polish and coat the valve stems. Several manufacturers have had problems with their stems not being micro polished correctly, and then put a CRN coating on them. If the valve stem is rough and is then coated, the valve stem will act like a file, and it will destroy any manufactured guide in a short time.
2. If the valve train geometry is not checked when putting in a larger cam, it can cause extensive valve guide clearance in a short period of time.
3. Improper initial guide clearance from the start can also cause the guide to wear out prematurely.

The guides in my own heads are che guides and are toast in short order 10k miles with full roller setup an valve train geometry was checked. still out of spec. not saying the guide is at fault. but when an oil change almost out last the guides in the heads theirs a problem
I've always been skeptical of offset rockers in true wedge design heads. Wonder if GM decided to slightly cant the new LT stuff to thwart this ugliness ????
A little over 9 minutes in, they use the LS7 engine, they show a little bit on how they
make the intake manifold runners, which I thought was pretty interesting.
here is the set up at the moment...as far as i know this is the first of its kind..was tuned for speed density as well. as of now the intake has not been ported. but thats gonna change next week

Very nice, my C5Z was at about 94KPA up top too with the ported MSD 102, and NW 102 TB.
Looking forward to your results with the intake porting.
Me to here is the intake from top veiw thats on the car now..gonna do something like this. i did to another car few years back. top picture on the car bottom ported carb intake
another from top throttle body view. you can see where hangs in some
