Seeing as my ported LS6 Throttlebody appears to have taken a dump I've ordered up an LS2 as a replacement, here's what I've got on the way:
LS2 Throttlebody: http://www.ebay.com/itm/320624624044...#ht_1934wt_652
Adapter Plate: http://www.ebay.com/itm/221075198433...#ht_2379wt_730
Wiring Harness: http://www.ebay.com/itm/370630798008...#ht_1500wt_804
My question is anybody have any tips on how to take care of the coolant line that runs through the LS6 throttle body as well as the hose that comes out of the passenger side valve cover and connects into the LS6 Throttlebody?
I'm thinking of checking home depot for some sort of sprocket or hose adapter that I can modify my K&N intake tube to accept and checking the auto parts store for some time of coolant hose connector where I can just connect the two hoses together.
Any leads or tips would be greatly appreciated!!

You have an LS6 throttle body? Those extensions sound like where the coolant line run through that I was speaking to.

I'm hoping I can slide by without another tune for a few months until I can scrounge together done more cash for a FAST intake. Darkman on the other Cadillac forum said he ran his with an LS2 for a year without tune, but we'll soon fond out! Haha

Sweet, thanks! On my way to auto shop now to look for a nipple.

Yeah pretty sure a slightly bigger throttle body can be adjusted with a simple idol relearn, that's what my tuner told me to do anyway. Long term looking at new intake next month and tune after that.

Yours are most likely plugged up because you live far enough south you don't have to worry about a frozen throttle body. It's actually a good thing because in theory it lowers your intake temp.
