If you are swaping from a ls1 intake you will need to get some tuning done or you will be alitle lean under higher load conditions and full throttle. Ofcourse it will be driveable i just would go around flooring it eveywhere intil you get it checked out

I managed to pull this off so it's not hard at all! Your arms are going to get torn up under the cowl. Realistically I could prob do it again in under and hour. The ls1howto guide was key. All you really need is the fuel rail tool and it's cake. I would rate it a 3/10 in ease.
Start it on a Saturday morning with one of your friends.

Not hard.
You need a plastic fuel disconnect tool. (Plastic, not the generic metal one, breaks the lock and your screwed. GM sells the lines for min 75$.
I use basic tools, to loosen the intake bolt, then for the back ones behind/under cowl, some tape to hold it up. Disconnect line from booster to snake around the oil pressure sensor.
Disconnect harness and sensors.
Lift and pull, me mindful of the Oill pressure sensor.
Make sure you address the cross over vent tube that runs ontop of the valley plate, needs to delete it or I hear you can grind the intake to clear it. Clean up the ports and make sure intake clean/dry and install.
Had mine in and out in less then 1 hr and I was dicking around. MAP sensor needs to be hooked up first to the harness before you put the intake in, and make sure the vaccume hose for the HVAC is not pinched (this is why I can do it in a short time)....

why disconnect the fuel line at all? I just left mine on and transferred everything right in the engine bay. it was super easy and fast.
4 bolts and pop the fuel rail off on side at a time and then push it on the ls6 and put 4 bolts back in. no fuel line tool needed.

it really is easy man. Just take your time. The only thing to worry about is the oil pressure sensor and to properly tighten the intake down in inch pounds. I didnt disconnect my fuel rail i just lifted the intake up and popped the rail up and put it back down on the new intake.
