A solid machine shop that does regular performance headwork can get the valve guide issue sorted. Or, a ported set of LS3 heads will also flow just as well as ported LS7 heads.

Personally, if I had a Z06 Id spend the money on getting the factory heads fixed so the original engine is complete.

And when they release the rest of the Corvette 'brand', which will include a 4 door crossover, I don't expect the car to last much longer.

Same with the ZR1 from C4 to C6. They also didn't really do anything that special for the C7. They supercharged everything which is awesome but everyone was doing that by that time. The C8 is getting so much attention because it is so different than what came before. It's not that much quicker than before(it's plenty though). Ive loved everyone I've driven and have owned a C5Z, C7z51, and now a C6Z.
