Yup, just the intake gaskets. You can do the TB coolant hose mod if you haven't done that yet. Remember to watch my install video if you have any concerns.

replace the thin rubber hoses on the PCV system.

buy a T fitting and some vacuum hose....use the hard lines from the stock setup and splice the rest with parts.

maybe splurge on a oil catch can www.revxtreme.com

I just completed my LS6 Intake Install. (Well the intake and valley cover are on, anyways.) I decided to add an LS6 Valley Cover and a Revxtreme Catch Can at the same time. I'm still waiting to receive my catch can, so I guess technically I'm not exactly finished. But with the intake off, I thought this would be the best time to upgrade my PCV system. I didn't have an excessive amount of oil in my original intake, but this should help keep the new intake as oil-free as possible.

I also purchased 2 Front LS6 Coolant Lines and used one for the front and one for the rear coolant passages instead of using block offs for the rear. I then ran a coolant line from the rear with some 1/4" fuel line and a spliced it into the line coming from the radiator. Thank you LCplmarine98 for the great idea!!

I can't wait to fire it up. Come on Revxtreme!! Where's my catch can?! LOL
