Default Pacesetter LTs are on (pics).
Installed Pacesetter LTs, MSD 8.5 wires, NGK TR55s plugs, GM Gaskets !AIR. These badboys slid right in, no grinding, lifting engine nothing.The SJM LineLock will go on next. In a few weeks I'll be getting Custom TDs. Here are a few pics of the LTs with a dirty engine.

What installation instructions did you go by? I am thinking about installing some on my own and i have been getting very mixed reviews about how easy/hard the install is.

Thanks

No instruction used at all, just do alot of searching on here. The LTs slipped right in on both side I just removed the dipstick. I had more problems finding the dipstick hole on the engine then anything else.

Here are a few things that I found very helpful with the install.

10mm ratchet wrench to remove stock manifold bolts.
11mm ratchet wrench if using stage8 bolts.
10mm deep sockets for the coilpack bolts.
I used the last rear coilpack bolt to plug the hole when removing Air. Do not bother to put back this bolt.

I just finished a pacesetter install also and mine went in with zero problems. The dipstick tube and reaching the bolts is the hardest part.

Looks good Wacko. I think that the grade 8's really make them stand out near the flange. Excellent!
