I few years ago I bought one and it worked for a long time. Still on the car actually. It has held up revving to 67-6800. I hear it is hit or miss with anything but but oem replacement.

So what is the consensus then??? Worth the money or not? I've always been under the impression to go OEM, but this is a great price for a complete Opti. Anyone else used these before or not????

You really can't beat that price, if I still had an LT1 I would try this out if I had opti troubles.

Thanks for the replies! With Summits handling charges it comes to $161.90 which IS exactly the same price they have them listed for on eBay $161.90! They have a listing on there for this price for 26 days.

I think I am gonna go ahead and give it a whirl! No problems with my opti now but have entire front of motor off and have 94,000 miles so while there might as well do it, especially since I am replacing everything else as well for ***** and giggles!
