What would changing the coolant pipes have to do w/ leaning out? Pretty sure it is because the amount of air/fuel for the lean condition, not coolant? Mike

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.
