Hey man,
American heritage performance did my head. The owner explained to me in detail all the available options, and helped me choose the right set up. The built quality is superb.i have since put 6k of hard driven miles on the car and no issues. I drive on the autobahn btw.
I strongly recommend american heritage performance.

What would be the point of this collection? Seems to be a really broad spectrum. Also you should add a line for re-inspection.
To simplify and get a better idea you should drop some data. Maybe just leave it to:
Vendor:
Head Modification choice:
Other Mods:
Miles:
Miles since modification:
Post inspection if any:
Just my opinion. Good luck.

Well the broad spectrum of this is knowledge, people are younger buyers this age of corvettes that's a fact. You have young guys well I'm young lol that dont know how to change the oil correctly on these cars. Its time for the testing to begin. I mean I have Nissan Lexus and r8 and so on and I have never ever have seen the scarce look in people when asked or tell me about the valve issue ever, just tired of this, and people on here talking shiiiit to each other. I'm ready are you....and I will gladly take donations from anybody, I will use that money to buy another set of heads brodix PrC Mast to run more testing...And I'm not going to say it will be finalized but I want to make an ls7 Head from scratch.

Well like I stated I am soon going to be conducting 5 6 heads testing with different setups and different circumstances for each head.. I have been getting this together for as while way before the secret spintron test conduction. I'm paying for all this so I have been getting everything ready..I'm trying to get Data for everyone so we can see what is the real fix. I drive my car and probably have one of the most miles driven on heads and cam without reinspecting anything. Im sure people have gone 20k plus....just trying to help everyone, so we wont be attacking anybody about opinions and so on like the other threads I didn't appreciate peoples responses with attacks.
Your motivations seem to be based on emotion from the other thread. So you're putting together your own Spintron test on your own dime? Very generous of you. If you were planning on doing your own test why are you so bent out of shape about the other thread? Running a thread and a test like this is a lot of work. You will get a lot of responses. I hope you are up for it.
Aside from that there is one fix, inspect and address your heads if there is a problem.
Otherwise the vendor choice and choice of valve material and other things you are looking for have shown no correlation. Post inspections are so low they are practically non existent. Time will be the only thing that will give anyone piece of mind.
Good luck.

I'm not bend out of shape whatsoever I just don't like being called names and sit and argue over the keyboard.. Bent out of shape never I move on buddy just like the wind. But then again I was portraid a free loader remember but that's my opinion I guess...We can sit here and argue and do whatever but my conclusion is facts I know you have argued with people on here and i never look for that only when I know I'm right I will express my thoughts. I just want the best for everyone I could care less about the other testing other than I hope it helps and works out for everyone...But I have nothing against anybody on here I just don't like being disrespected cheers brother..

Right now new car is completely stock with warranty. I look forward to your testing and conclusions as I'm sure they will be interesting and I will consider them when the time comes for WCCH to upgrade my heads again.
