My 2006 Z06 has 75,000 miles with original heads, but it is getting new AHP heads in a couple of weeks. I will know more about the condition of the valves and guides at that time.

74k miles, how much longer you think that exhaust valve would have lasted? I didn't even bother checking the rest.....

Just picked up a 2008 Z06 w/ 21K miles. Thinking it is best to get the head work out of the way ASAP. Is there a latest consensus as to which shop and/or "recipe" is best?

Not sure what ET or power has to do with anything....109k is decent though. Have you checked your guides?

I just listed the hp and times to let everyone know it's still running as it should. I have not checked my guides. I actually have a set of heads and a new cam . I plan on installing them within a few months.
