I'm confused. I've done 3 head/cam swaps on my old 2004 GTO and will be doing a cam swap soon on the Z06 I have (2003). Why did you take the manifold off to do cam and headers? Maybe I'm just totally drawing a blank but I swear it doesn't have to come off...

are you really going to make him repeat it for a third time?
BTW, It looks and sounds great!!! I can't wait to see it and take a ride when I'm up there for Easter!
