ill never tell.......
i am a firm believer in using tape instead of paste... using tape and making sure you wrap it in the right direction so that it doesnt bunch when tightening the line nuts will alleviate almost all problems associated with using tape... theres no way for it to get in the lines unless you wrap it with no common sense.

Break off the piece of teflon, goes into the solenoid which sticks..

how is it going to break off of anything when its all in the threads? the threads arent what seals the joint.... its the taper and the force fit.

the corvette is allot easier to work on then the Fbods, I hate how GM stuck the engine under the windshield 
Nothing like a Bad Azz, red, '02, Z06, 408 with a dual stage. But then again I may be biased. Nice job, something to be proud of. Now go get some times and post em up on the Z06 Fast List.

Im just poking at it, but nice install nonetheless.
