The 98-00 had a little bit bigger cam than the 01/02's did. And the LS6 intake breaths alot better than the LS1 intake does so they should see very decent gains.

I have a tsp 233/239 cam with stock heads and ls1 intake. i wonder what an LS6 would do for me power wise. i know its running out of breath at like 5500. im just not sure if changing the intake is gonig to help that much without changing heads?

Sounds like a vacuum leak

I simply used 1" pieces of 3/8" rubber hose, sliced lengthwise to go around the bolts. Loosen, lift them up, place the hose around the bolts....done deal. I never heard of using laundry clips...another good idea.

You really don't need to.

Just pull the entire fuel rail off as one complete assembly and move it over to the driver's side strut tower. As long as you are careful and don't kink or break the lines, it should be fine.
