I FINALLY got the motor done, after 3 weeks in the body shop for a ding from the ex-gf, many late nights and trips to home depot and Napa I finally got the headers, FAST intake, TB, MAF, injectors and K&N intake installed. I had originally planned to stay with just a Z06 style intake but due to the 90mm tb the stocker would have choked it too much, so I picked up a used K&N for cheap.
The install was one with many headaches, I couldn't get the car up high enough for the headers, the MAP sensor hit the back of the firewall with the new intake so I had to relocate it, the fuel rails covers don't fit anymore so I either gotta dremel them or do some wire clean up, a PVC hard line had to be swapped for a soft line to fit behind the intake, the new air bridge had to be modified for fittings for the PVC breather system and the IAT sensor since my car is a 2000.

Tuner installing the wideband:

42# injectors and painted intake, which came out nice but too damn expensive

(If you wondering why theirs only one spark plug boot it's cause Advanced only had one pack, thankfully only 2 wires were close enough to need them.)
Relocated MAP, it usually sits on the back of the intake but had clearance issues:

"Modified air bridge" It'll be fixed better later, I just wanted the car running asap right now:

Replaced PVC hose from hard to soft. It runs behind the intake from the Dr side valve cover to the passenger side valve cover:

No sound clips, but it does sound wicked. It wasn't wide band tuned cause it had an exhaust leak when we started it. I'm leaving for Birmingham Wednesday morning, when I come back Friday night It's getting wide band tuned. I was able to drive it around the block though and you can tell it's going to be a monster once it's running right, it makes the blood and tears all worth it![Grin](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_grin.gif)
All that's left is a good set of heads, but the car should be plenty for me for now. Once it's paid off things will be re-evaluated.
My full specs are LS3/L92 block, bore and stroked to 418ci
Fully balanced rotating assembly, forged Diamond Pistons, Oliver Billet steel rods, Melling's oil pump, Comp Cam 251/258 .625" lift, FAST 90 intake, Nick Williams 90mm TB, 85mm GM MAF, SVO 42# injectors, K&N FIPK intake, LG Street 1 3/4 LT headers & x-pipe, GM 317 casting heads, milled .030 w/intake/exhaust port work, Magnaflow exhaust.
