Default C6 Wrenching

I don't know if anybody cares, but I thought I would post anyways. Just got done installing heads on my C6. So, far I've done cam, longtubes and X, lowered it and the heads. These cars are a friggin dream to work on. Its so easy compared to the early Vettes and the god-forsaken Mustangs of which I've owned 6. The response to the new parts is amazing, it flat out hauls.

If there are any owners out there considering digging into the new Vette have at it. I will do some tuning next week and hit the dyno on Friday. I'll let y'all know.

just curious, is it necessary to remove the steering rack to swap out cams on the C6 like it was on C5's, or has that been made any easier.........?

I think it's awesome to see people taking the new C6 and modifying them already! I remember in late summer 2004 when the C6 first came out, Livernois Motorsports in Michigan got one of the first ones and they immediately put a heads/cam package on it! That rocks!

Keep us posted on your results!
