For what you are going to gain I would say wait untill you do the lts and ls6. You wont notice any differance in power, just a cleaner engine bay.

You can make the plates but it's a pain in the ***.

Speed Inc has the the plates. Check near the bottom of this web page.

I haven't heard of any problems with driveability. Just probs with emissions and codes.

Autozone sells the 1 3/8" freeze plug.

BTW.....I'm in Metairie
