I am thinking about either
A. Ebay
B. Junk yard
C. Off my buddies T/A

I am researching so I can hit it when I am back in the states in a few weeks.

I know HPTuners or EFILive will allow you to go much deeper into your truck's computer than any handheld so you may be out of luck with that. Not 100% sure, but I doubt the Predator can do what you need to do.

As for the LS1 fans, I found mine locally on a generic car forum for $75. You see them all over if you look around enough, but Ebay, junkyards, or your buddy's T/A will get you a set too, I'm sure.

You'll need a pack of those little plastic/nylons pins that are used to secure transmission coolers. Simply drill 4 holes in the LS1 fan shroud and mount it that way for clean install that won't take all day to fabricate. There's also a sponsor who offers a dual fan setup that is a "bolt-on". Can't remember their name.

I got my harness from a sponsor, but I'd suggest using BlackBear performance, also a sponsor here.
http://www.blackbearperformance.com/services.asp

The two connectors needed can be had at siliconeintakes dot com (not a sponsor so I can't post links)
One 4" to 3.5" silicone reducer - $12.99
One 4" silicone 90° elbow - $24.99

At your local truck parts place
One foot of 4" exhaust pipe
4 appropriately sized hose clamps
Spray paint so the bare metal pipe won't rust. (I painted mine inside and out)

That's about it...

I like your intake fab but I could never give up the ram air that I currently have. I have a 01 silvy so and I couldn't find the harness through blackbear but I did shoot him an email. Thanks for your Help! I think you inspired me on this install and I shall post pics.

I also checked out the specs on the tuner I ordered and Predator does offer the ability to turn the fan on and off

Ok I am a retard. I didn't understand that the socket was for a 05 oem or ls1 fan hahaha.
Is the overdrive pulley a good idea?
