Hi
As a lot of you know I installed a vortech last winter.. I feel like I haven't driven the car since. Anyway one thing after another. Started to the track and getting on the highway blew 2nd gear out.... limped home. then put a tko 600 in and have a slight viberation, driving home. Then it started missing turned out to be a broken valve, found it after a couple weeks. Then after fixing that (all new springs), did a leakdown and had a leak finally pulled the heads and found a valve seat coming loose. Heads are now at trickflow being repaired, back this week I think... anyway can't wait to drive the thing and wait tfor the next problem.

Sorry to hear of your troubles... These cars always tend to get us down, but once it's all fixed there won't be much left to replace.

I feel your pain. After installing my Vortech I blew a headgasket. After fixing that I blew 3rd gear in my T5Z. Put in a TKO 600 like you, then 1500 miles later all the bearings in my DSS were wiped out. Car has been torn down for a couple months now...If you want to play you gotta pay I guess

"If you want to play you gotta pay" I hear you!! Just taking longer than I thought . Just cause I have more that 2 times the stock horsies things are breaking

That is life. I understand just a little frustrated... A lot of peeps have been through worst and lived so I guess I can handle this..
