I don't know yet. I want to buy the LS6 coolant pipes and plugs. I don't want to jacked up this pretty intake. I'm in a ROCKEX team deployer this week so my week is pretty much planned somewhat.

You could just jack up your coolant lines like I did.. haha..

All you have to do is cut it where it starts to head under the intake and bend it back pretty well and weld/silicon it shut for insurance... Then no more crossover going under the intake..

I wouldn't recomend it if you're going FI though.. I hear this makes some of the guys who go FI go Boom..
