i got a stupid deal on this through my father in law. its an ls3 with asa cam and better stuff in the heads. its a sealed turn key GMPP product with 2 year warranty.

Boy does that sound familiar. Mine started with #7 intake spring also, and ended up taking out the whole motor. There have been too many of us losing motors in the last year or so. I went with a forged 415 ci with a medium cam to boost up the torque so I don't have to rev it so high. It really does pull a lot harder now in the lower revs and all the way up. I hope my thinking plays out. Now after blowing all of my play money fixing it, I need to save up so I can get back out on the track. Good luck fellas
