Yep same here, But i do wonder about the valve springs now a little .Had the work done to mine about 7 years ago and im at about 20,000 miles on them. If i keep the car i will build me some heads this year.

If you did a cam swap, the recommended mileage to do a spring "refresh" is after 22k or so miles after the initial install, 22-24k on the trunnion bushings. So I have read on here, and my builder had said too.

How many miles are too many when buy a used Camaro? Is a 150,000 mile Camaro good to buy?

You asked this same question in another section, depends on how the car was taken care of by the previous owner. Otherwise it depends on what year the car is, and how it was driven...
