We'll see how we feel about motor mounts when we do it, I'm still on stock internals so no real need for em I guess.

One question I do have is, if I change out the intake friday night, will I still be able to drive it to your shop without the EGR on the manifolds plugged up?
Cool, that should go pretty smooth with a few of us working on it. Once you get the LT's in, you cant get to the mounts again. I usually go with the if it aint broke dont fix it way, but I like to do things when they are easy, so if you get them, we should throw them in.

If you dont have the plugs for it you need to get them. Otherwise your gonna have what will pretty much be a big exhaust and intake leak. Its a $12 kit. And youre going to need to program it out ASAP.

Well the LS6 intake doesn't have provisions for the EGR and the headers don't either, I was just wondering if it would be able to drive about 10 miles without the plug in the exhaust manifolds.

And I'll be heading to HPE next week to get a retune.

No, probably more like 5.

I'll probably just wait until Saturday to install everything all at once then.

I'll just start when it's most convenient for everyone else, that is giving that it allows enough time to finish it that day (so I can get home).

Also what kind of beer does everybody like?

Yessir...Google shows it being about a smooth 60 miles. I didnt realize is was that far. The only thing that may get in my way is the work I need to do on my jet skis.
