shaving them to bump up comp,port work,stainless exh valves and new guides.also using new cometic head gaskets. after all is said and done with the new headers and h pipe, i am hoping to see a reliable,streetable 580rwp..sound reasonable?

Depending upon whose dyno you put it on, absolutely.

Well I could go in several directions with this, but being in the C6Z06 section I'll stick to that. We have road racers who have won national titles with our builds, and we have the fastest street driven Z06 in the drag race sector with an 8.5 @ 160. That car is driven to work in a suit in tie when not in race trim.

Now that and a $1.50 gets you on the city subway, but thats another story.

That sounds very reasonable.

On pump gas, widow cam, all bolt-ons, modded heads with CR up to at least 11.6 and a good tune, 580rwhp should be no problem.

The guys at ECS will hook you up.

Thanks,
Carlos
