LS6 intake is not new on the set up. It was on it last year. Had to paint the valve covers! Now I just need to find some old Pontiac blue for the GXP valve covers.

I see that you have the LS6 intake on your mockup motor. Will that be new to the setup for this year? I can't wait to see what you run.

Finally, I love that the valve covers are painted Chevy engine orange (or close enough).

How the hell did I miss this thread!

Good to see that the rear bank finally has a decent configuration.










Oh, and in for dyno results.
