Why are you pulling the wiper arms off? I've had my LS6 intake off 4 times and never had to remove the wiper arms? I can usually knock it out in under 50 minutes or so....

Just don't snag the oil pressure sending unit with the brake booster line when you pull the intake forward. Otherwise you'll be out another 50$

Track was packed tonight. As much as I hate to admit. That forced induction 5.0 ran again. I've seen him before. He did like a 5.6 @ 120 something mph.

I thinks the closest GM in that range was like a 6.2? Can't remeber though. Was still good times....

No stall, partial throttle launch... 7.64 @ 94.85mph. '02 Blk/Blk C5 Vette. I lined up with a '03 Z06 and I wanted to beat this guy because he cut in front of a bunch people in line that had been waiting for a long time. I made him look like his car was broken.
