Default C6 Engine self destructs

I just took delivery of a C6 ragtop. Has anyone got any Info on C6 engine problems.? I Talked to Procharger 3 days ago pushing for the date when their blower kits were due out; they're having "engine problems" so were a "couple of other aftermarket houses." Cam gear problems causing blown engines. Procharger has "stopped their C6 kit development until engine problems are resolved by GM." Help!!

SO do you have any credible info from procharger ?
It just seems real odd that this is your first post on this forum !

I just talked to Procharger today. They said nothing of this issue at all.
According to the guy I talked to, They are finishing up the tunning on the kits for C6 right now and should be out soon.

Default You will have more problems than you can handle by modifying.

Keep it factory GM and you will have less or no problems. Why mess with a great car and good thing to begin with.

Not a single report of such problems from any vendor or from any of the veteran members on this forum who deal with them daily but post #1 from Romeo suddenly offers new and valuable insights?
