Little kid
Just got my vette back from Richey Collision, they did an awesome job of painting the engine! 
Feel like a little kid...wanted (really did) to just stand there and stare at it as it looks so good. 
Next is headers and X pipe. Question, if I don't intend to ever mess with the engine, cam etc, are there any disadvantages of putting on headers and X pipe? Heating problems etc as this is a daily drive???

You say you had the engine painted? Did you mean the fuel rail covers and the trim?

Would like to see the engine pics. No real disadvantage of putting headers on other than perhaps increased noise.

I agree with the post also about the horsepower to cost ratio too! I, of course, wanted some add hp and was willing to suck up a few hundred bucks...I bought my headers used.
