Well, was feeling a ton better today...have a crappy cold. So after work I got the cutoff wheel going and did some work on my IC tubing.







I bought some polished aluminum tubing to spruce it up a lil bit. Turned out pretty decent. Now I just have to mount the IAT sensor and tighten up the clamps and connect the harness and shes back to sitting in the driveway waiting for the gear install to begin lol.

Your intake manifold looks fantastic. Is that still the composite one or is it aluminum?

The rest of your project looks good too

Thanks Dracus, That's the LS6 intake. I rattle canned it with that anodized spray paint. I think krylon makes it. It is a two step paint. You prep the piece first, then spray the silver base coat, and then the red "anodized" finish. It came out awesome, the paint has been on there for about a year now and still looks like I just did it. The TB was done with the red anodize paint too, but without the silver base coat.

Thanks And the paint is awesome, but take your time and read the directions real good. I practiced on my stock LS1 intake first and it didn't come out like my LS6 intake at all lol.

Bos,mine took a beating from the ATI plenum but I can always try to polish the hell out of it. I also had to elongate the mounting holes to pull the radiator forward a tad, and clearanced it in the back with a small cut off wheel.

Fans? What fans??? I go so fast air cools off my engine lol. The fans were moved in front of the radiator a long time ago when I had my first FI kit, my lil Powerdyne s/c. Thats where they have stayed. Also gives me more room in front of the engine if needed, s/c pipes or say a turbo if I get one

Merlin, actually its 3 polished aluminum pipes altogether. Hopefully I get the car up and running for the weekend. This fall weather is damn nice for some track runs.

Very nice Jeremy...I just about finished with more bling myself (whole new fuel system to support the ponies) I'll try to get some pics for you guys in a week or so....then real dyno results .....then maybe a few times at the track in the full street/show trim with a M6/10 bolt (have to granny it to 60' probably, mainly looking for MPH).

Will look for the pics Mark, the fuel system is real nice eye candy for under hood. Thats one of the first things people admire when I pop the hood, they think the adj fpr is some sort of N2O device lol

Thanks Brandon Hopefully I can get the gears in this week, ET drags on and get some track time by the weekend. Now its time to hide some of the wires. I'm going to cut my sparkplug wires a lil shorter, TR sends the plugwires a lil long with the coil relocation kit and it makes it look a mess under there.
