Doh! Just saw that - and I have one too that you can borrow if you still need it.

By the way, anyone want two tickets to the U2 concert for tomorrow night in Atlanta (Tuesday night)?

They are the $108 tickets, just trying to help a buddy out that had something fall through...

Well got the tool and removed it tonight. Still need to cut the block to clear the ls6 valley cover. Going to start assembling the fast intake sometime soon. Going to be looking to get rid of a ls6 intake, ported stock tb, fuel rail and stock injectors, ls1 valley cover. Might be doing a set of heads but not for sure. Thanks for offering up the tool I needed guys, thats what the this hobby is about.

Hmm, if I have the funds, I may be interested in taking the intake off of your hands Sheik. And who ported the throttle body?

Well got the block cut and valley cover on. Need to find me a torque wrench that will go down to 11 ft/lb so I can tighten the valley cover and knock sensors.

Got my brackets modified today while Craig worked on his fender. Going to send a email to Nitrous Outlet about my fuel soleniod being messed up. They didn't center the hole so I don't have full adjustment for the hole. Going to get some teflon and do the fuel rails soon. Need to get a fitting or two as well so I can mount a fuel pressure gauge.

Operation flashpoint. Bought a raceteonix with the upgraded ground kit. Got to send my fuel solenoid back for a replacement. They didn't drill the hole in the center so it runs out of adjustment. The game is awesome!
