Went off and took the heads back off just to check everything . Did a few things to clean up the heads . Also , got the computer back from tuning . Feels real good but still breaking it in .

Yeah, those C5Z wheels look great on F-bodies too. You have a really nice 'bird there, nice streetable 224 cam. I bet it has a nice lope with that 114LSA. Keep up the good work!
