ZR1Cat, I’m your age & mine is basically stock. It’s a 09 & still has the stock tune.
I did send my heads to AHP to have the valve guides replaced with moldStar 90, duel springs & milled 20K. I wasn’t having any problems.
The only reason I did that was AHP & other research I did, mentioned possible valve guide wear. Coming from a Z06, I just feel better even though it’s not a LS7.
I replaced my shifter with a Hinson one along with a Tick master clutch cylinder & a remote bleeder.
I never miss a 3rd gear shift anymore.
I do have the radar detector on the mirror, M2W mod & LED bulbs only for the reverse lights.
I’m not planning on anything else.
