Me...I do believe i'd want the GM parts or better, for my high performance baby I for one wouldn't want someone to apply 2nd hand or "cheaper" parts on her. Like you, i'd shop around also. I'll bet you'll find middle ground somewhere, without sacrificing the integrity/performance of your Vette .

That beng said, it doesn't stop at the Mechanic shops.

I do try to get the best parts for the money, my timing set is a Cloyes tru-roller, I've used them in several other rods I've owned and never had a failure. But guess what your local Chevy dealers sometimes do? I've sold tune-ups on Vettes and priced out the factory plug wires only to have the parts dept. send out to the local parts house for a $39.00 set. That's why I don't work in that business anymore. Just because you bought it at a dealer doesn't ensure it's the best, but yes, I know where you're coming from.
