I finished late tonight without any obvious problems. It was late so I just started it up and idled for awhile. No vacuum leaks so far, that I can tell. The egr wasn't as hard to hook up as I expected and doesn't seem to leak. The hardest part was undoing some of the injectors, and trying to unhook the hose at the back of the intake before I realized I could just unhook it at the firewall. I was real careful and lifted the hose way up over the infamous oil sending unit. All in all it went well. It wasn't too hard, just time consuming. If I ever have to do it again it will definately be easier and faster. Well..........time for the cam.

 

I'm getting an LS6 intake in the NEAR future.....like next month....Any advise?

How are the gains?? Good for 15 HP?? SOTP feel?? What's w/ the sending unit?? Can I reuse my stock P+P'd TB? I know I will definitly need a tune after that one. (LS1 Edit+ Dyno time) I was supposed to have it done after I installed my headers but I didn't have the time. Yeah I know enough w/ the Q's already.... I was looking at an intake through LS1 Speed for $445. Is that about right?? Or can I get a cheaper one...

If your talking about the LS6 intake and not the SLP w/egr than you can find one cheaper. I bought the SLP LS6 intake from speed engineering for $439 on sale. Your stock p/p TB will work great with the intake. As far as gains, I don't know I havent even had a chance to drive it yet. Tomorrow I'll give it a run on the old buttdyno. As far as tips I pretty much followed the instruction on www.ls1howto.com. They are better than the ones SLP sent me. I took a nail and bent the end to pop the clips off the fuel injectors. Neither set of instructions says how to take the injector harness clips off. The ones under the cowl were kind of hard to get to. You will need to use rubber bands to hold up the last 3 intake bolts on the drivers side and the last 2 on the passengers side, as they can't be taken out with the intake under the cowl. Once you get the intake bolts out, disconnect the hose that joins with rear drivers side of the intake from it's other end at the firewall. You can then turn the intake counterclockwise and pull it out a couple inches. As you do this, use your right arm to reach around the back of the intake and hold up the hose that you disconnected and lift it carefully over the oil sending unit. You will be able to feel it sticking up between the intake and the hose. Once you've got it out a few inches, you can disconnect the sensor and small hose on the back passenger side of the intake. Then you can pop off the injectors by pulling up on the fuel rail and base of the injectors. After that you're home free. Putting the new intake on is the easy part, just remember to take off the knock sensor clips and tape. You can also use some soapy water on the heads to help the intake slide on. Oh yeah, put a little bit of motor oil on your injector o-rings before you put them back on. Good luck.

 

Hmm...........Thanx man! I'll have to get into it more when I get home in AUG. I'm in Germany right now and my car is back in the states sitting in the garage. All too soon, patience my pet!
