Head Damaged fixed!!! Finally

2 weeks in the chev dealership, after owning it for a week but its fixed and stronger and smoother according to my butt dyno! Im waiting for the whole parts list that went into it but from what i do know it consists of: cam shaft valves and head itself. Dealer said they freezed framed the rpm at blowup and it managed to reach 7300 rpms? Must have revved it on accident between shifts but regardless ther was no limiter programmed to prevent it in the first place, they say it must have been when they put the stage 1 on it.

Gm said they had to give it back to me with the kit on it, they did take good care of me. They gave me the rental for free and everything was of course coverd. Since i got it back the boost transition feels smoother and it spikes at 23 psi now instead of 21.5, and killed a 5.7 gto in a 3rd gear pull on the way home. It almost feels kinda like from comparing it now from the 1st week of owning it that something might have been a little off before it blew up, maybe previous owner knew something. Im just happy to finally have it back especially since my 1st payment is due and ive put 700 miles on it.
