Might want to add a lid in there if you just forgot to mention it. Tranny or heads or rear end would be nice for the next mods.

I love how nice parts look when you get them. Then they never look anything like that again!

Yeah, weird as it sounds I haven't purchased the lid. But I definetely will soon. I did the FRA & Dynomouth last year other than that she is bone stock, but not for long. I really considered heads but I wussed out. Just seemed awful "involved" for my first mod and on such a new motor (25K).

A little dissapointed you couldn't tell us the specs of the cam
You're right on the money, the cam is a TR224-112. Yeah the exhaust looks pretty big we'll see how it fits. Started ripping her apart this morning. Down to just exhaust manifolds. Two rear plugs & manifolds bolts are removed, going back out there now and let her down to finish from up top.

Nice garage. What year is the car? If it is 98-00 I would get an LS6 intake, and a spec stage # clutch. You should also get some SFC's.

Good luck,
Dave

Thanks, I just finished that addition with the lift, it's added on to a larger 24X40 garage that's full of stuff. Finished just in time, it's snowing like a **** out there. My car is an 01 M6. I think SFC's and LCA's are in the near future. Got the pass. side exhaust manifold off. FYI the QTP pass header fit with room to spare, just thought I would check. Starting on the driver side.........

The QTP's are the same as my Kooks. They went in easy on both sides. The Y-pipe was a pain though.

Yep, just put in the driver side (test fit) and it went right up. Did not remove oil filter, oil plug nothing other than the factory exhaust & spark plugs. Now the coil pack was also removed but I don't think it would have changed anything. I did have to slightly bend a heat shield with the tip of my finger. It goes in pretty much straight up forward of the oil plug.
