Z06s are special!
umm I just left the vette world after 2 years and just from the people who posted on the vette forums I saw easily 50 that said they dropped valves. This doesnt account for the people who arent on the forums. My friend works at the chevy dealership here where I live and has seen many come through with 500 miles up to higher mileage.
First thing I would do is swap the heads out for sure.
