I've been hitting 16.1's more than anything but weather is a dog here but Im reallly happy with my time vs. the mods I've done! The track gains were sweet but driving on the street is a blast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sweet setup, 6.0! I had similar questions a few months ago and was told the wiring is all the same. Not sure on the tranny tho. The 4.8 computer flash will drive your rig no problem. You can get a 6.0L flash from the dealer, sometimes for free if you are nice and/or bought from them. If you go custom tune I would not even worry about it then.
Good luck, let us know the results!

I'm getting psyched to finish mine next week and see the results of others! Keep us informed.

I'm curious about the LSX intake...is that a truck specific intake or do you plan to do the mods required to make the lower "f-body" manifold fit? You will need to change mounting brackets & thermostat housings, and maybe a couple other items(?) to make it work on the truck if it isn't truck specific. Some guys on the forum have fiddled with it...some info here, but do a search to find more.
