Congrats on the engine man!
On the reverse torx for the Opti, I went to Sear's hardware, and actually found a reverse allen head that fits fine, don't ask me how but it does, green top on the handle, fits perfect, they were out of the reverse torx at the time.
here some pics of the intake cleaned up the top a bit still have a little bit to do need to find a good buffer pad for the dremel but its a lot better than it was

Looks nice. Once you get that intake done, I bet it'll look freaking beautiful inside the engine bay

Sorry Sears didn't have anything, I was really hoping you'd get lucky. I know how it is when you have stuff to do and the time to do it, but don't have the right tools to get it done

You no doubt already know this, but make sure you threadlock those screws on the opti when you put it back together. If one gets loose, that opti's as good as dead.

thanks for the tip on that i would have never known but i got lucky one of my friends gave me the number to one of the local matco truck drivers and he came by and he had one on the truck so i took it but heres the bad part i took the opti apart and the opti was bad the plastic on the inside was broken so now i got to wait until a new opti shows up
For a reverse torx in a pinch, you can take one of the bolts out of the PCM shell, grind the wings off of it, grab it with a pair of vice grips on the threads, and use it on the opti.

It has been a while but I used one of the bolts from the top plate on the throttle body, put it in some vise grips and worked like a charm. Had to scrap the bolt but I recieved new ones when I ordered a polished plate.
When all else fails, watch Magyver (sp?) marathons then go work on your car.
