Really good of you guys to do that for him...it looks like he had another accident after that point too.

I did notice you said you liked to use single springs for the LS9 camshaft you use on it.

Why is that?
And why not use the dual PAC's?

Why do you guys make me want to tear apart my new car?? Lol.

On a serious note...I feel comfortable knowing that there are options other than the dealer in case something catastrophic happens... Even if you are a "short" tow away. Thanks for doing what you do and being excellent at it.

What happened to the stock engine?

How did the metal shavings get into the supercharger? SC failure?

When the parts start flying the boost drops and bypass valve opens and those valve pieces pistons reverse their direction and head into the intake ports through the bypass valve then to the inlet to the supercharger and destruction happens quickly
