My Sumbich gets a Sumbich!
Haha, well the title really should read my "Failed Wiggle test after owning the car for two weeks leads to WCCH/Cam/Headers/Corsa and K&N Cold air"
This will serve as my log to keep updates in. I bought the car with 69K miles out of Miami. She was pretty well taken care of, definitely not a garage queen but still in great shape.
I also want to start off by saying I didn't buy into the head issues hype I wasn't even going to bother checking mine but figured it was to easy of a check to not do it. Turns out my guides were well past service tolerance.. So time to get heads done and anyone that knows me knows I cant crack into an engine and not put a cam in. So since not only my heads were bad but three other guys in our little group also had bad guides. We talked to Kevin at vengeance and they had two sets of WCCH's on the shelf and had two more already at WCCH so We decided to get everything through them.
I pulled the trigger on the Sumbich (247/258 .661/.652 112+4) It should be a beast of a cam. Didnt milled the heads much .010 and went with a c5r timing chain and trunion upgrade... Im not sold on the C5r timing chain, its the most expensive chain ive ever bought so time will tell. I also replaced the lifters while I had it apart.
Heres a few Pics and Open header startup vid on the stock tune, Ill have full exhaust on it tonight and get another video.

c5r chain is well worth it. Jon6.0 did a cam and didn't replace his chain, few thousand miles later is snapped. He regrets not doing the c5r chain.

It was all we could do to get Josh to sleep Saturday night after returning with all the parts Saturday.
After hearing the Z while we were there and hearing Josh's I can't wait to get mine up and running.

We havent taken it out yet, its got to get back down to Mike @vengeance for a tune. We got the rest of the exhaust put back on and it quieted it down a little. the mild to wild is drastically different! At WOT its going to be STUPID! haha cant wait!
David, It was great meeting you and Ron cant wait to get back down for the tunes. Hope Mike is making out alright! Hope hes getting some sleep!!

This was our first time dealing with them and I have to say they really helped us out. David, Kevin,Ron and Mike have been excellent to deal with, One of our sets of heads came back from WCCH damaged and kevin has been jumping through hoops to get it resolved. The really do stand up to the reputation.
