My Vengeance Kaotik cam install
Well, thats not all it's getting! After owning my Z for over a year and turning my head to the valve issue the time came to check the tolerances. My buddy "Turbotank" pulled the trigger on a Z recently, after he got the car home and discussing the whole valve issue we found his car, my car along with 2 other Z's with the valves out of GM spec. Oddly enough my intake valves were further out of spec than my exhaust valves. So the decision was made to have the WCCH "fix" performed on all 4 cars. While josh and I both know we share the disease we knew if the heads were coming off we would both do a cam swap and he told me he wouldn't help me with the heads if I didn't do a cam swap. Ha! I decided to go with the Kaotik cam from Vengeance and we did the exchange program with them on the heads. I also have Kook's 1 7/8" headers along with their X pipe. My car is almost ready for the cam install. We went down last Saturday and met a few of the guys and picked up just about all the parts. Josh's car is already fired up with Vengeance Sumbich cam and sounds insane!

Vengeance changed my heads 54 weeks ago. Eleven of my value guides were out of spec. I have over 5000 miles on the car since the fix. Ron does great work. You guys can truly enjoy your cars.
