if you have headers it doesn't take nearly as long to do it. with the stock manifold yes it takes hours of swearing and throwing tools

Well the car runs a lot better i put in some 10.2 MM wires and also new NGK TR55 plugs and the cars runs great! the arcing off the coil is gone also so i believe it was due to my stock wires not being able to handle the MSD coil power which MSD told me may be the problem so now its fixed and the car runs like a champ!

Oh and i got to test it out late last night on the freeway i was going out and it was about 11 pm no one on the highway and i noticed Blue headlights in the shape of a LS1 camaro and sure enough it was he got up next to me and we went up to 130 and my car pulled hard and didnt miss a beat! i stayed next to the LS1 the whole time we were dead even!
