I just started my intake install today, kinda a pain in the ***, i decided to grind the tabs off the bottom, which is taking quite a while, but im impatient and cheap so i dont feel like buying the lines, but I grinded the wrong side at first and i can tell you that It WILL NOT fit without grinding. I also upgraded to 28lb injectors over my 26's for a little extra feul to help me sleep at night when i hit the nitrous. Also, i was yanking pretty hard and still didnt manage to break the oil pressure sensor, (although i probably jynx'd myself now, lol). Im hoping to have it done tomorrow or the day after so i can see if i feel a difference, boltons feel slow to me now =[

but as far as as a difference, im going to say its extremely minor, feels like a lid/filter.

I can't figure out how the hell i broke it. I was confident that i didn't. So today i drove it without knowing the oil psi. I think i felt a slight difference but not much.
And now i have to buy a sending unit and go through that whole pain in the *** process again

And i dont know how i didnt break the oil pressure sensor, i yanked that bitch pretty damn hard because i was getting frustrated, guess its just luck of the draw, or maybe because my baby only has 47k on her.

I figured it out, I took some motor oil I had laying around on my figner and lubed them up, then they went in relitivly easy, they dont look like there in but it runs fine and they are on there pretty solid, all in all with a break and the injector nonsence I did it all in about 3-4hours it was pretty easy, and I didnt break anything, thanks for all the tips and trick that Clothes pin trick was really handy who ever thought of that is a Genius!

I think i may have a vacuum leak. driving at any speed above 25mph and coasting in neutral it sits at 1800 rpm, then when i slow and stop it drops to where it should be. Meh whatever, i can live with it

I agree, this thread should be stickied. For the amount of people that go with the LS6 intake and all the questions, there should be a good thread for people to go to.
I am going to re-ask this question. I have heard about people going with the LS6 valley pan or PCV system? What's this about? The search function is down and I can't find it.
