Waiting is the hardest part...
My car is currently sitting at a speed shop getting cam/headers/stall/tune/etc. Just saw them post a quick instagram story of its first startup. My painted ZL1 splitter and rockers just delivered and are mocking me.
I have a lot of work ahead of me before the GM Nationals in a couple of weeks, but all I can do at this point is wait. wait. wait. and it's so difficult to do!

I waited 7 months for appointment to finally come then had the car in the shop for 8 months when it spun a bearing doing the same as you lol. Wait was brutal but now that it’s back I’m happier than ever with it.
CSP posted a vid of my first start up on Instagram then got a call the next day that they dynoed it and was low 60hp. Dropped the pan and bam 2 overheated rods from a spun bearing. Then waiting on parts plus machine shop was backed up took forever.

Haha you’re good. I bought mine at 70k miles so don’t know what the previous owner did. They are amazing and worth a 8 hour round trip for me. Their customer service and prices and work can’t be beat.

I'm not going to say that I blame you... but my engine had a spun bearing on the dyno and it's considered a "catastrophic failure".

Worst feeling ever, my heart dropped when I got that call. Dynos put a lot of stress on engines and it does happen at times. How many mikes was on yours? They are easy ti work with and pm sent.
