However there are some other things that I would recommend while you are doing the Intake that will save you time later.
LS6 Valley Tray Cover Mod, upgrade to 99-02 KS and WH and a Catch can if possible.
All but the Catch Can require removing the Intake off.
Also remove the egr and air pump too.http://www.ls1.com/forums/f7/my-6-liter-build-174257/

The EGR is the tube that runs into the top of your intake right behind the throttle body. The standard LS6 intake does not have a provision for this. SLP sells an intake that is EGR friendly, but I would delete the EGR system all together when swapping intakes.

if your injectors are maxed out right now you WILL need bigger injectors.

You are correct
`98 and 01-04 have 28# injectors although the later injectors are a newer better design.
`99-00 have 26#
When removing the EGR you have to cap the exhaust manifold port and the same goes for the AIR system aswell. And no you do not have to have a tune but if you don't disable those systems through the PCM you will have an SES light.

You don't need a tune, injectors or fuel pump for an LS6 intake swap. Its a bolt on, swap out.

I'll try to explain it as I go with each post.
Below you will see a LS1 Valley Cover Tray (VCT) with the coolant tube that connects the front and rear heads together. You can see it on this pic but there is no PCV tube like the LS6 VCT has. On a LS1 the PCV is vented out the rear of the drivers side valve cover. The tubing splits like a Y behind the intake, one goes to the rear passenger side valve cover and the other goes along the passenger side of the intake connects to the PCV then plugs into the intake just behind the throttle body (TB). What the LS6 VCT mod does is removes this crappy PCV system. The PCV is internal to the LS6 VCT and has an outlet tube as seen in pic 2 & 3. In the mod directions there is some work in that you will have to grind a 1/2" by 3/4" section off the block. It shows you how and what to do. The best thing I can say that you get out of this mod is that it eliminates the PCV vacuum issues and cleans up the engine nicely. It can be scary when you get to the grinding part of the mod. Just take your time.
Another reason I recommend the LS6 VCT mod is cost. PCV replacement hose at least $130. The LS6 VCT is $57. Other cost that could be included aree the 99< KS $37ea x 2 and WH $39. I got all with GMPartsdirect.com
Catch Can is different in that you do not need to do right away. You can run a hose straight from the VCT outlet to the intake and be find. But the Catch Can will help cut down ant blow by oil that the PCV lets by.
One more thing about the LS6 Intake is that you will need to get the bypass coolant lines or if you still want the LS1 coolant lines to work you will need to modify the bottom of the intake to accommodate the LS1 tubing. Pic 1 shows the LS1 coolant lines and Pic 2 shows the LS6 bypass with the rear block off plugs.

LS6 Valley Tray Cover
Another one (ignore the black circles)
Here is what it looks like after installed with LS6 Intake, VCT, & Catch Can.
LS6 Valley Cover Tray with Catch Can
KS = Knock Sensors
WH = Wire Harness.
GM has discontinued >98 KS & WH. You can still get some but 99 and up are better. If you do replace them with 99< you will need a new WH.
Correct. If you delete the EGR and have stock exhaust manifolds you will need cap off plates. Not expensive.
You do not need a tune right away however to get full benefits you will need to. The tune will adjust the fuel/air tables on the high end side. Frost can tell you more. I'd wait to do a tune if you have plans to do long tube headers in your future.
Also I read in one of the above post that 99< had only 26lb injectors, this is incorrect. 99-00 were the only yrs to get 26 lb injectors. 98, 01-02 had 28 lb injectors.
If you want to know the differences between the yrs 98-02 read this thread:
