How much $$ are the coolant pipes for the LS6 intake conversion
How much $$ are the coolant pipes for the LS6 intake conversion I'm buying a used one in a few days and the guy wants $20 for the pipes for the LS1/LS6 conversion 
Also anyone know where to get some EGR blockoff plates?

This partly due to the design of the LS6 intake, but i think the main cause is the fact that people add an LS6 intake and don't tune the computer for it. ANY time you add something that will change the Air:Fuel you should get a tune. The computer can only account for so much.

Well I'm with the computer needing to be tuned. If #7 was going to lean out wouldn't all the guys with those coolant lines like that have problems on EVERY LS1 GM made with them. They make those lines to make cars with LS1 and LS6 intake i.e. 00+, not so we have a part to buy when we upgrade our cars.
