great looking car, congrats on the new baby! one thing i noticed and wasent sure looking at the pics but ive heard that the ls1/6 intake will not work with the accessories off teh trucks, throttle body hits stuff cuz its lower. Ive never dealt with it before so have you a look see to be sure. Great lookin pics though!

You're right the ls1 intake won't work with the truck accessories unless you cut the top idler pulley off and relocate it. We just haven't gotten that far yet.

I've thought about relocating the coils but haven't decided yet. Might try to use GTO covers so you wouldn't see them anyway.

i hate covers, and i especially hate useless plastic crap on an old school car. so maybe instead of covering them up spend the time to relocate them. it will look **** if you do it right.


but just that's me, and my muscle car is already built.

just wanted to make sure lol. dont relocate the coils, powder coat the valve covers! GTO Judge Orange. theyll be covered up enough they wont be too bright, theyll match the car, and throw some killer color on that mill. add in some red MSD wires on top of IC piping and a big turbo and it will be a nice happy medium between form and function.

might paint the intake a gloss or medium gloss black to set it off too. thats what I did with mine and it worked perfectly!
