From Az to CA (CMS)
I'm one week away from my trip to CMS. I'm having them swap out my stock heads, with stage 2 WCCH Ls7 heads milled .030", with new Oem rockers that have had the Che upgrade done, ported LS7 intake, elite engineering catch can, tune, and a catted x pipe, to compliment my ARH headers that have an offload xpipe. I already have a Calloway cai. I can't wait to have a nice set of heads on my car. I hate working about the valves/guides every time I drive my car. O heads up to anyone that is interested in my stock parts. I'll be posting them up for sale after CMS removes them. They have almost 16 K miles now. Add another 550 miles for the road trip to CA. I'll post up my results after install. I don't have a before dyno sorry.

You will love the upgrades. That being said there are some top notch LS shops in Phoenix. I've heard nothing but great about CMS but I'm surprised you didn't goto one of the Phoenix shops.

They aren't supporting vendors of CF so you can't talk about them.

It will be worth the trip and you will be very happy with CMS. They do top notch work and are a great group of guys. I drive 2 hours because of their knowledge and great customer service. You will love the upgrade and your car is going to be a beast after Ryne tunes it.

Nice call on the mods, and you cannot go wrong with CMS. Sounds like an awesome build and similar route I am thinking of once I get the ball rolling on a new motor. Keep us posted on the results!

CMS is a great shop. Ryne and Mike kick ***. You're going to be very happy.

I think he was referring to those other vendors. CMS is a forum sponsor. Great choice again bro. My head/cam Z put down 568/505 on their stingy dyno. And it drives great.

Nice. I'm hoping for 500 rwhp. But I'll be happy with whatever it puts down. As long as its healthy. Lol

So the results are in. I made 488/446 with cats on 91 octane. I was very pleased with the work done. Ryan,Mike G. and Mike or Texas as they call him, did very well by me. I can honestly say it was worth the drive out there. In the future when it's time to do a cam and clutch I'll be making the trip back.
