Cam Position sensor... How the.... How do you replace this thing? Is there an easy way? It was like sticking my arm through a barbed wire fence reaching to the back side of the intake manifold. I am not even sure I was touching the right thing....Next step is just having the dealer do it. Any suggestions?????

I had to change it, the hardest part of getting the intake off is disconnecting that damn fuel rail line. Everything is pretty simple, except maybe getting a torque wrench in there to tighten it all back down.

I didnt have eyes on my fingers, so I had to take my intake back off to change my Oil Pressure SU. They say you can change it without yankin the manifold...but i dont see how.
The intake isnt that bad. You might as well pick up an LS6 intake now. Check the used section. You'll have no more than $350 shipped. Good way to crank out 20 more hp. Check this out: http://ls1howto.com/index.php?article=5 Tells you exactly how to do it. There are some more great tips that we'll give you on that if you do decide to go that route.
I didnt torque my bolts back down, but I did tighten them back down in the proper order. Also, he shouldnt need to take the fuel lines off if hes reinstalling the stock intake.

Be aware that the brake vacuum hose goes around the back of the oil pressure sender unit. So pulling the intake forward will break it, you need to lift the intake over the sensor at the back. I've taken the intake off many times with no problems, but I've heard of people breaking the oil sender unit.
Good luck.
