The truck intake supports quite a bit of horsepower? How much horsepower are you looking to put out? Is there hood fitment issues using the truck intake?

The best advice I can give you is find a harness manufacturer that offers tech support and don't be afraid to ask for references that have used their tech support. Take it from me....it really sucks when the manufacturer has taken your money and is unwilling to help you with their own product.

It is hood clearance and looks!

How long of spacers are needed to make truck injectors work?

Thank you, I wish I saw this earlier, I bought one off a guy earlier today. I could have saved a couple of bucks!

Using the Camaro injectors requires buying injectors, changing the injector plugs on the harness, and reprogramming. The spacers or $90 ebay aftermarket rails is probably cheaper.
The 10+ Camaro water pump works without spacers, although it's about $150 + $95 tensioner. The later truck pumps fit with only a little clearancing for the cable TB, around $95. LS1 pump ($100) + spacers ($75).
Or if you look at my earlier pic, I put a truck pulley on an LS1 car pump. See this thread.

I know a lot of people have got the old ls1 water pumps and use an aftermarket spacer to make it fit the truck accessory system. Does the 10+ camero pump work without a spacer on the truck drive?

I swapped LS1 injectors with my truck injectors when I put my Ls1 intake on. I did change the injector connectors but they worked perfect without any programming changes. They have almost the same flow rates from what I have read. 24 lb/hr for truck and 26 lb/hr for Ls1.

I have been looking around at front accessory drives. I really like the look of the Camero setup vs the truck or even the Corvette drive.

Does anyone have a good line on swapping from the truck to Camero drive? I have the smaller truck alternator. Any idea if this will work with the camero bracket setup? What about the power stearing pump?

Looks like the alternater will work but not the power steering pump
