I'm going to do this to my car, what do you guys think? Tylerls1 probably remembers when I bent my door hinge now when I open my door the trim strip hits so its a must go.
That was the first thing I did to both my fbods. Looks ten times cleaner. I used my heat gun and some rubbing alcohol. Paint thinner for anything real hard to get off. Buttery smooth!

I think it will look better, I keep wanting to do it to my Camaro but never seem to get around to it.

You're secretly trying to lose all the weight out of the car arent you? LOL... j/k.

Yeah I just did this to the Tahoe about 3 weeks ago. Looks much cleaner now. I also removed all the badges at the same time. That eraser wheel that 3M makes, works like a charm at removing the sticky tape from the car. Kinda spendy little bastard but it saved alot of time and elbow grease.

You can do what I did, wait until you are into your 50s before having any babies. My second son will be here sometime around the first week of July. I will be 57

Make sure your intake bolts are snug. Or get new intake gaskets and throw them on

I'm almost a 100% sure it's not his intake bolts, but a bad intake itself. He bought the intake and installed it knowing it had a few cracks/bad spots on it. I would swap your old LS6 back on Joe and part out that FAST 90.
