Steve, here is a quick photoshop I put together for an intake idea that I've yet to see on an LS1. Two-tone painted, with just the runners painted silver. Paint the base area charcoal gray to match your valvecovers. It would take some patience to mask off, but would look really modern on that fancy engine.

The engine looks killer. You inspire lots of folks brutha! The Canton pan is already aluminum, and I think you may know what to do with aluminum

You're a stud Steve. The engine is stunning.
As far as the intake goes.If I were to choose something to go on there based on looks alone it would be a sheetmetal intake.All aluminum except for the top where I would either have one of the follwing engraved or painted on the top:
Z/28 (first gen style)
SS (black center with a blue outline)
Camaro
by Chevrolet (in the old style Chevrolet script)
LS1 (similar to the Z06 badges)
Project name
I look forward to seeing what you wind up with.
Good luck.

Todd: NICE to see ya and thanks 
Brian: MTI TB is on the way!
00NBMCamaro: Checking PM's today (im bad at that)
Tony: good idea on the two tone.. that would be real easy to do with the new LSX intake.. I will most likely switch (eventually) to either a chromed alum intake or a Magnacharger so whatever i do is somewhat temp. Im liking the silver/alum color for it though
Leragie: Im probley going to run the billet LS1 (z06 style) badges on the fenders.. I like you idea for the old-scool script on the FRC's though!
Thanks for the comments everyone.. i will keep ya all updated.
