Regarding 2.
I completely agree, it is very labor intensive compared to the LS powered Corvette's. It was common practice to do a cam install in 10 hours including all the valvetrain upgrades on the C5/C6's. Now with the C7's the proper way of doing a cam install requires the LT engine to be removed completely.

Finally tearing into my Z06.
LPE GT35 cam
TVS 2300 blower (revised)
CNC ported/polished heads
Upgraded injectors
Upgraded DI pump
Upgraded in-tank pump
Flex fuel - E85 (no meth needed with fuel upgrades)
American Racing long tube headers
GSpeed Stage Zero cooling system
This will be pretty robust as I track my car so peak numbers aren't the goal but everything under the curve

Make no mistake, it’s still a ton of work even “sneaking” it as I do.

Sweet! Joe definitely knows how to build some wicked cars!! Your car sounds good, love that color and those rims too! When wife allows me I’ll be back for e-85, pistons and possibly a bigger blower! Depends on how much I’ll be able to get out the Ti-trim with e-85.

Now that was something I'd have said, and I know I get it from my Dad, cause he'd had said the same like... DUH.... LOL
