Default Vette doctors did it again

The Vette Doctors have completed performance work on three of my Corvettes over the last eight years which I have been extremely happy with each and every time.

Well they did it again. This time on my 02 Z they took off a Maggie, replaced pistons, installed a head & cam package along with a host of other parts required once the Maggie is gone. RWHP 465 just what the doctor ordered and provided.

The Z has great power along with excellent drivability. So I can go on that six hour cruise one day and hit the track on the next day.

Thanks again to Carmen, Dennis and crew at the VD.
Joe

465 rwhp is pretty impressive. I am looking at modding a mostly stock z06... can you publish the mods/brands/models/specs you used? or PM me?

I let Carmen decide what to use, I simply tell them what I will be using the Corvette for and they come up with the specs. I have always relied on there judgement.

What was the reason for taking off the maggie? Btw The Vette Doctors are the best. They do the work on my dads 07 Vette and will being doing some on mine once I get one.
