    You don't have warranty on the car anymore do you? How many miles/yrs do they give in the C6Z warranty?

    I am in the extended warranty period now.

    I don't know if I've hurt the motor or not, it runs fine and still seems to pull just as hard....the oil pressure just dropped about 10 psi. I know right after I got my TB and intake milled the car also felt fine, then I ran someone and got my ass handed to me. So afterwards, I ran Rick and was dead even with him (which is even slower than I was stock), so I was obviously down a LOT of power and didn't know it.

    Also, I've been reading Corvette Forum lately and there have been quite a few threads about early '07 motors blowing (which is what I have), and it has me paranoid as hell.
