Hello all. I've hung around corvetteforum.com for the past 3 years or so.(Same screenname) I've had my '04 MN6 Z51 vert for about 2 1/2 years now. I use the car for fun only. Unlike too many Vette guys mine sees about 10K miles/ year. I recently bought an '03 LS6 motor that was hydrolocked and spit the #8 rod through it's side. I'm looking to salvage the good parts and put them on my car this winter. The warranty ends this spring and I'm looking for some more power. 350 HP has been fun but it's time for some more. The CF guys said that I might find some better help here, so I thought that I'd give it a try. I've read quite a few threads on the Z06 heads and cam here already, now I need to decide what to do.
Thanks for any future help, Tom

I'm about 45 minutes north of Corning. Funny thing- my son just moved to Jackson Hole 3 weeks ago.
