LS6 intake install going on tomorrow...DONE PICS. ok this is my last check up. here is what i have...ls6 intake of course
-egr+air block offs with gaskets.
-intake and tb gaskets.
-ops sensor.
-plug for side of the lid where the air was.
uh i really want to know if i am missing anything. i have head of some needing to rent a fuel line dissconect tool. can i just leave all that stuff together on the fuel rail and not need to go get a tool? any info would be great. i have read the install on ls1howto.com and others here. i am still confused what to do about the fuel lines.

Be sure to calibrate your seat of the pants meter prior to install. Report back on what you think of this mod. Iknow everybody does it, but is it worth 3/4 the price of a N2O kit???

i dont know what beats the squeeze. but this is a dd that i need to baby for just a little longer. my sotp meter will get back to you. i have stock manifolds so i dont expect too much but i think i will feel it.
FYI, When you're taking your manifold out, take note ( the large vacuum hose on mine was stuck on the back of the manifold when I swapped my manifold) of the hose routing on the back of the manifold. I spent way too much time trying to figure out which exact way that hose was routed when I did mine. Just in case you have to take out the large vacuum hose with the manifold.

yes dont break the oil sending unit as well, a lot of times the brake booster vacuum line will hit the oil sending unit and break it, just be very careful when taking everything out.

ok well i got it done earlier in the day and have been busy running around since. i did end up breaking the OPS and it was hell running around finding a socket deep enough to put the new one on.
between that and the #7 injector harness i have some pretty cut up hands and arms. that cowl is vicious. i did need some washers for the AIR block offs they where slightly thin but worked well. i left the air pump in there for now and just pulled the fuse until later this weekend when i have more time.
i havent had time to drive it yet, so i am not sure of a difference. but there are no leaks thank god. i still have to put a screw in the vacume line, adjust the throttle body slightly, and remove the AIR pump. i didnt take any before or during shots but i will take some after shot and post them up.

thanks, its much closer to a deep maroon instead of red like the pics look. very close to the cars color. i think painting it is definately worth the extra time and effort.

hummm. well the vacuum line that went to the AIR valve with the 3 large hoses on it is what i plugged. i did not trace it back to its origin though. i can only think that it connects into the vacuum lines coming out of the passenger side of the manifold in the rear. i honestly dont see how you can get your hand back there without moving the intake out slightly. i have the dealer manuals for the 2000 year so i will look at them this week and see if i can find a diagram for you in there.
