My rebuild thread
#225
That would be an LS6 valley cover
Update....she's all done! Runs and drives. Tried to drive it last night but I think something in the new p/s pump that I got with the hydroboost setup is geared differently or something. The steering and brakes SUCK at idle. Once the revs come up a little bit everything works great, but at idle I have no power steering and no power brakes. I'll probably end up swapping my stock power steering pump back on when I get back from Vegas on Monday.
I just took it around the block a couple times. Feels real torquey right off idle. I dunno if it's because of the different ramp rate on the new throttle body or what...I thought it would feel like a dog off idle with the Vic Jr but it feels great! Can't wait to get the steering and brakes worked out and take her out on the road!!

Chris,
I don't know what your plans are for the cold air intake, but if you're planning on re-doing it all you may want to consider putting as long and as straight a section of pipe in front of the turbo as possible. Maybe go all the way up to the radiator before turning it down. It'll only make a marginal difference, but it does help eliminate surge issues and improve flow slightly.
And we all know you like your pipes long and straight...
Looks good dude!
