You guys got me so upset that I went out and ordered a new radiator w/ oil cooler from Tom DeWitt today.

Couldn't pass on the GP and I need one to cool the stocker down.

Sorry to hear you mod fever is getting worse and had to break down and order a new radiator. If it helps at all, I am researching for new heads/CAM and I haven’t paid off the header/tune yet.

I was hoping to have the warranty for at least a year before I go crazy and void it, but that header/tune you did is making me wanting more. Luckily for now I am having a hard time finding intake manifold for the LS3 that I want.

You already have no warranty from the header and tune!

Don't worry about the manifold. Cory @ ls2portworks can port yours and you'll pick up a few.
We can do one of our cam swaps and you'll pick up about 60 at the wheels. That's a mild enough cam to not need a stall. You could do the cam now, and get the heads ported later on.

Not necessarily. The dealer I work with would most likely honor his warranty. They've sent me brand new cars to tune. They are pretty mod freindly.

That is what the dealers would like us to think. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act protects us within reason. If I blow the engine while at the track, I will be seeing Ed for a new forged engine on my dime. If the alternator dies, the headers have nothing to do with that failure and GM will have to honor the warranty. Regardless, I will try to keep the credit card paid off for such an emergency or to help me cure mod fever.

I am still getting use to the 40HP you just got for me, and now you are trying to give me another 60HP.

I am waiting for FAST LS3 version to come out to see their numbers. I was hoping to do the CAM package, possibly heads, intake/TB all at the same time. Just getting ready for the super charger install down the road. With that $2 a week deal I might not be able to wait.

Just do what I did. I applied for a government bailout so I can finally mod my car. Hell, they are giving out billions to less deserving than me.

I can see the government rep now. “Sir, you said you can not make your payments because of new head/cam upgrade and a super charger for your Corvette, bailout approved.”
