Default few mods installed this wknd

put a bmr strut brace on. about 3x the size
of the stocker. also installed a svede speed otr intake.
wow what a difference on intake temps !



also put an ingalls stiffy tensioner on the goat. beleive this
is for the 04 only, but dont see why it wouldnt fit on an 05
or 06.



that is all.

There's something in the way I believe on the LS2 goats that the Stiffy can't mount on them. Too bad as I've had one for about 6 years and it works great with no vibration like stiffer mounts

LOVE the stiffy. one of the best after cam mods i've done.

ingalls website does say it wont fit ls2, but i honestly do not
see why it wouldnt, as the head is in the same spot, and so
are the bolt holes in the head.

here's a quick vid of the wife trying to back the goat out the
other day LOL
