I will be picking the Vette back up on Wednesday the 18th

What did they charge to do this? I wasn't too worried about my car because it has 8k miles but the more I read online it seems it can happen at as little as 5k miles.

Adam if you provide the heads we can do the labor for cheap. We've done several sets of heads cam swaps on the z06. Actually have a local guy we use for street tuning that's real reasonable. He's got a 900+ hp LS based nova.
