I dont think you can go wrong with that intake at all. A little extra torque is never a bad thing! Sounds like she'll run real nice. Let us know how it turns out.
Yeah, 1600 is a bit high. At least in my area. Wait4me charges $75 to just do the ECM re-program. $360 is if they do a harness for you as well.
I have the schematics you'll need to do the harness.
If you go carb then id say it is not doable for 900$. Isnt the intake and MSD box like $700 or more?
If you go FI and can do the harness yourself id say its doable. $1600 is a tad high for the motor possibly. Id just do an LQ4 and save a couple hundred or more honestly.
Im seriously considering grabbing a set of DR's and just keeping them on the car. Everyone and their brother is making these things now and im really not sure which is the best.
Any comments or suggestions?
Thanks.
I actually never got around to buying that. The company is http://www.flynbye.com/ as doober posted.
Their stuff looks real nice. Part of the reason I never bought it was that I could never get a hold of the guy to get some questions answered! That and I just spent a sh*t ton on the LS7...
Heres the computer:

Believe it or not, you cant really see it there. Its hidden a bit better than what it appears to be in this photo.
If I had to choose between the two, id go F pan and notch the frame. But, if you are willing to dump the F pan, get the CTS-V pan, its by far the best for our cars.
I cant comment on the VVT stuff, but the T56 side of it is simple. Any ECM should do. You'll just "turn off" the auto trans stuff. Dont worry about the reverse lockout, just muscle it into reverse, thats what I do. You get used to it quick.
I would never in a million years bolt an aluminum intake to an LSX motor unless its some crazy one-off build or something. Just seems like taking a step backward. I agree with getting an LS1 intake if you are just concerned about looks. Dont expect any more performance out of it over the truck...
