I agree! Got my header install half way done and decided to call it quits until later this week when it warms up.

You've made some great choices. Cory (Colorado Speed and Performance) did the heads on my Vette and I couldn't be happier - and Peter is an excellent tuner. You should be pretty happy with the outcome, I know I am.

I definitely feel like I could count on you if I tore into my L98 and got lost in way deep of the build! Goodluck! I'll be waiting for videos when she's all wrapped up.

From everything I've read the C7 won't be at the Denver show. I was going to drive the 220 miles to Denver to see it, but if it's not going to be there I'll just stay here.

Well I got the bad news this morning from the guys at Colorado Speed and Performance. Cory was really sick a bit ago and he is catching up on all his work so it's looking like I won't have heads till next friday.. Which is good in a small sense, I can buy more stuff and make sure everything is perfectly clean like new in the meantime.. Man my wife has no idea all the cleaning work she has ahead of her!!! HAHAHAHA
