usually it wouldnt have hurt to check the knock sensors to see if they were full of water, and the pcv system you could just ahve run some hoses and a couple of t fittings to connect both valve covers to the one that goes to the pcv, and tb

Maybe he ment after everything is unbolted. I know it took me a little work to slide it out.
Oh and my PCV hoses were destroyed as well. The new hoses from the stealership were like 170 bucks or some **** so i said screw that. Go to O'riellys and buy some fittings and some hose and make yourself a new one.

Probably will wait for my stall and 3.73s before having it tuned. Let me know if you get it together by Friday night I will meet you there. I am driving out to San Antonio for the Midnight Madness event at their track on the 27th. Usually allot of F-bods show up. Plus I can see how my car is doing so far.

I was talking about hand tools, but I'll take the same bet even with air tools. I'll let you know for sure when I head up there.

Right after we built my car we found out I needed better lifters than what Comp provided us....

I pulled the intake, heads, down to the bare block, lol.... I was not paying attention, I was just working my *** off.

Pulling the intake would have been sufficient.

He is a chevy tech, he takes these intakes off all day, everyday. We changed his in front of SQR to change the cam sensor and had it runing in 15 min no joke. But if you wanna take the bet, do it, but you just handing your money over.

I want video! Seriously i'd like to see somebody do this in 15.

I'm pretty noobish compared to most people on here when it comes to cars but i've changed a good amount of stuff on the t/a including the cam sensor. Getting that intake off and back on right was pretty f'n difficult. Having relatively large forearms is no help either!!
