I could not imagine only having one or two cars and not having my car for that long......... Yeah that is some crazy down time huh? If i knew my car was going to be down for a total of 30+ days i would have went ahead and done the whole bottom end....Sometimes i think it is better to try and do everything at one shot these days you know....Only drawback is this big *** bill waiting on you I could not imagine only having one or two cars and not having my car for that long.........
I could not imagine only having one or two cars and not having my car for that long.........Hope you both get your cars back running soon!

I could not imagine only having one or two cars and not having my car for that long.........this is one of the reasons why I work on my own stuff. My bro sent out his stock 243 heads to be ported/polished and a 5 way angle valve job. Took less then a week and only cost $300. That includes putting on dual valve springs and new valve seals. Got the heads back and they looked great. I would do the same thing if I got a C6Z, if and when I would do a huge cam package to it, lol!
Hope you both get your cars back running soon!

UPDATE:
My HEADS HAVEN'T even been touched...of course...they will be ONE - OFF heads which is kindoff cool.
I'm being told they are shooting for 415-420CFM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am skeptical but positive!!!
All I know is, MORE MODS HERE I COME.
I'm saving for DRY SUMP and SEATS and ROLL CAGE.
