You don't NEED an LS6 valley cover to install the FAST. You just need the LS6 coolant crossover lines and plugs.

Also make sure you follow the FAST instructions exactly. Make sure you use the button head bolts provided with the intake on the valley cover. If you don't, you will crack the intake because the stock bolts sit too high for the FAST intake.

Do you have the EGR still hooked up?

You use alot of oil. And you do not have an egr on your car you have an air system.

Your car already has the LS6 coolant crossover line and the plugs because it is an 01. The 01-02 cars DO NOT have EGR; you are talking about the A.I.R. system as stated above. You will fail a visual emissions inspection if you delete it
