Thanks guys!! Took a while longer than I planned but I finally got it all put together. I'm gonna paint the altinater when it warms up.
Yeah it can be a pita mostly because of where our engine is in the bay. But it looks like you did just fine.. Did'nt even loose the fuel line clips.. Again Nice work..:yup:Quote:

Does anyone know what I can do to remove, or cover that ugly brass fitting????
I think thats where the egr went? If I remove it, there will be a hole there.
Anything will help. Thanks.
Yea, swap to the LS6 design intake manifold.Quote:

WS6store.com has this option;

For a quick fix I put a freeze plug in there, much less noticeable than whatever that is, and only like 3 dollars at the parts store :dunno:Quote:

It's like one of those puzzles, ..., Find the differences in the photos.
At first ya think, well I see a couple, ..., then a couple more, ...
I see at least 8.
Thanks Jeff, I got the ambition to do the wire and cruise hide mod from you.
what did you use to fill the holes from the wire clips? I like that idea. It really cleans that up.Quote:

I've also done the wire mod and I still have those holes.

I guess I'd have to paint them. Thx
An old shot of mine. One of the weekends where i'm not feeling too lazy I need to get out and do some painting. Gonna get rid of a lot of the red and black it out for the most part.

Don't worry pretty soon you wont be looking at bare black and crap lol
the big hose on the right side is for your air system if you get a tune you can have it turned off and take it out. thats what i did on my car. if you dont have a tune yet talk to frost you will not regreat getting one thats for sure
Thanks man I'll have to wait till after the motor is taken out and such and maybe the guy tuning my motor can do that! What is that air system doing?
there is a pump in the inner fender on the driver side that pulles air out of the header and and it ends up going back into the lid its more or less like a egr set up.
:no: The secondary air system injects fresh filtered air into the exhaust manifolds (or headers). The system operates for a short time on cold start up and is designed to help bring the catalytic converters up to operating temperature sooner. The system consists of an electric air pump, a hose to a diverter valve on top of the engine, an electric solenoid that controls the vacuum signal to the diverter valve, and check valves mounted on the metal manifold tubes. This can all be removed from the car if emissions compliance is not an issue. A tune is then also required to cancel out the SES light from being triggered by the removal. :)Quote:

I added the Camaro vinyl to the right side of the strut tower! It may not be world ending but I like it and it's the start of all the mods to come
the light will come back and im not sure about emissions as i dont have to deal with them. do they have a visual? if so it should fail. and if you like the sticker thats all that matters.
I'm just completing my LS6 install. The engine is running smooth. I haven't re-installed the AC components yet. I have to install the console and the air dam. Take the car off the ramps and I'm ready for a test drive.

Looks good, Tater. Any thoughts of doing the wire hide?
i have thought about it a while ago but been so busy lately the thought hasn't come up. I do like the way it looks thoughQuote:

Yeah, I think I will just clean it up, do the wire and cruise control mod and leave it alone. I might paint my intake, I don't know yet.
how do you do the cruise control hide mod?
Thats what I was thinking. I know people mess with the tcs but idk how to hide cruiseQuote:

Hey BLK2KSS, how do you like the fitment and performance of the BBK intake? Did you get it just for the blow out plate or do you prefer it over equivalent intake manis?
I’m gonna completely honest here and admit that it pretty much sucks balls! lol. Other than it being pretty I hate it! It will be for sale soon so I don’t wanna bash it too much lol. But seriously there are lots of good things about it but the fact that its aluminum and the walls are pretty thick, which can be a plus when porting, it gets super hot and holds that heat FOREVER! I bought into the whole blow out plate, portability and great price compared to the others and I actually believed all the peoples BS that owned them and didn’t wanna make themselves look foolish for buying a poor product by lying about the heat soak not affecting performance. I can literally feel the difference after it gets hot and yeah don’t think that you can just let it sit for a lil while and cool down cause it wont. When it’s cool for the 5-10 mins after start up its great though lol. A FAST will be in there shortly. Oh yeah and dont even think about putting boost through it, it WILL leak.Quote:

yup, I wish I would have just got the LS6 too or just spent some more coin and got the FAST. Oh well, live and learn. Like I said though, It sure looks pretty lol
that it does
That is one healthy looking motor
wanna post up a pic of mine but its a mess from removing the ac and remounting everything like the TCS and the catch can as well as hiding the wires :(
Post her up anyway she can't be that dirtyQuote:
