?'s "Weekend Worrior" package
Hey Guys I'm looking at a vette with the Weekend Worrior Package from Corvette's of Dallas. It consists of APS TT and Exhaust, plus fuel managment and duel cone valve springs. My questions are about reliability, longgevity and will a stock engine tolerate ~8lbs of boost?
Thanks
Kelly

Kelly,
I have no idea what duel cone valve springs are, but the stock bottom-end can easily handle 8 lbs of boost.
You need to have a compression test done on all 8 before you buy this vehicle. That will be the biggest indicator of engine health.
I'm up in Huntsville, AL - so let me know if I can help you.

MrBig & Edward Thanks for the info and support.
It's actually duel valve springs :o
According to the salesman the springs were'nt installed anyway.
I think the tune issue is what worries me. There's nobody real close that I could have do/check the tune. Plus I'm not exactly up for the Einstien Award!

Jason thanks for jumping in on this.
The car is an 07 Pace Car, vert, 6speed manual, 3Lt and Z51 with 572 miles on it. It's at COD.
According to the dealer this system was put on 2 weeks ago and driven ~30 miles. Supposed to be worth $20K! Includes APS TT, APS Exhaust, fuel managment system and tune. I don't know enough about this sort of thing to know if it's a good deal or not. KBB shows retail on the car alone to be ~ $44-45K. COD is asking $44Kfor the car!
I was going to ask you if you do the tuning for COD or if you are familiar with who does.
Thanks for your help and offer.

It is a nice looking car. $43K would be an awesome deal on that car.

I dont know anything about COD's work, but I did buy my 2002 C5 from them 4 years ago and had absolutely no problems with it to date. They seem to sell good cars, so I wouldnt have an issues trusting them on what they say.
