Default LS6 Intake installed - question

Ok, I got the LS6 intake done. Used the the Lingenfelter EGR adapter, install went smooth following the ls1howto, everything works and sounds fine.

Question - it kind of feels the same, no SOP difference - will it take time to learn to use the new intake or is that it?

OK, thanks for the responses guys. I am first and formost really glad it all went well, took me 7 hours and there are a lot of hoses and wires on the 2000 (with the EGR plumbing on the divers side) so I was worried about missing something or pinching/breaking something.

A good hint BTW - I used small spring clamps from Home Depot (the little yellow ones - come in a pack of four) to hold up the rear bolts coming off and going back on, works well.

Thanks again for the feedback.

Use rubber bands connecting the bolts on the right to the ones on the left...mega cheep and works like a camp...u might want to pull those plastic pins out that hold the weather striping a long the cowl up to keep from scratching yourself a lot...bleeding sucks...
