Dyno Results LS6 intake etc
Is there an LS6 swap "how to" somewhere. I'd like to see what you mean by this VLOM tray.
Now that I have my truck back up and running and it will be spring soon, it will be time to turn my focus back to my car and i was planning a setup very similar to this but keeping DoD is kind of necessary.

From nmp0098:
9) The two VLOMs side by side. The official stock replacement part is thinner than what came on the car, and after I ordered it I checked and it is the same part number as the G8s and DOD trucks. Bolted in with no issues (107 in-lbs).

Here's the VLOM tray from nmp0098's build (stock at the bottom):

So, with the G8 tray being thinner, will the intake ribs still need to be ground down underneath?

That's good to know the difference.
Ah so either way the intake will need to be modified due to the MAP sensor and whatever that other thing on the left is, lol:
Pics of your modified OPSU?

cut the rear vacuum nipple off with a hacksaw and use a screw driver to pry the tabs which hold the dam thining in, out. Then clean the hole out and scuff the surface. Use some epoxy and install a 1 31/32 freeze plug into the hole. The map sensor will install in the rear. Just drill a. 441" hole on the flat side of the rear manafoild. Mount the map with a small screw sealed with PST gel. You can get a map extension harness from verious companies online.
The best bet is to mount it up front on Brian's adapter. Doesn't really matter though, since both locations will work.

Can we get a sticky for the LS6 swap info?
I've been on this forum for almost a year and see this come up occasionally, and quite honestly, though I've read this stuff I'll have to look at it again when I actually go to do it.
Back on track! lol.
