Fast intake install help!

So I started putting on my fast intake for some reason thinking I didn't need the new coolants lines. I thought it was only needed for the ls6.... Anyways I get it all ready to bolt down and it is not even close to fitting. So my question is. I need to get the coolant tube conversion kit. And do I need new valley cover bolts? I read somewher that the stock valley cover bolts will hit on the bottom of the intake. Help plz!

and i believe you need to either shave the bolts or get different ones for the FAST setup.

You must use the ne bolts that came with the FAST intake or you crack the underside of the intake.

You need the button head bolts for the valley and the LS6 coolant lines.

Ha I shaved my bolts down and cut and welded my coolant lines shut. Just as good as the aftermarket and I saved myself $70. Pretty simple to do really. Had friends with a shop and a guy whos real good at welding help me out though.
