Welcome back-

Funny, I never thought of using PVC to make intake tubing, but why not?

Nice to have a project again, eh?

Might be a 1LE car? Check your glove box or door for that RPO code....

Also for 5th, don't be worried as the cars have a reverse lockout, unless it's broke it will never go into reverse while moving.

That's funny about worrying about shifting into reverse accidentally. I drove a V6 M5 Camaro for almost ten years so I sometimes forget and get clumsy with my current M6.

I drove alot today, I mean alot, i put full gas tank and drove around almost every where around my town, getting in 5th i dont know how many time, im very confident not hit revert while shift to 5th gear. so that feeling is out the window today. the way I felt is just shift to 5th gear like any other 5 speed car, and when you want go revert just shift to 5th gear but try to put further left and up. btw I end up burn more then haft tank of gas lol for driving around today.
