Thanks again George!

do you have an 04? if so you don't need the 97/98 fuel rail.
you'll need one from a 98-02 f-body, 99-04 corvette, or 04 gto.

yes I have an 04, thanks for the help. What does the ls6 intake swap cost aprx with fuel rails, injectors, water pump, etc?

Got an update!
Truck is on the road! Allen sent me a base tune for my setup last week. The idle is set for ~825. I still sound great but I think it loped more when it was ~700/750. The truck does not smoke at start up like it used to, even though it is still running rich. Sometimes I get a bucking motion going at really low speeds, hopefully I can get that tuned out. Glad I am not running one of toughs really grabby(sp) clutches.
As far as how it runs! It does not feel like I lost any low to mid range power, but that might because of the T56 and 4.56s gears. This is a good thing! I really have not gone over ~80% throttle, buy have had the rpms up to ~6K and the truck to ~115mph. At 115 I was in 4th gear at only running ~5200rpms. Just think I have around 1300rpms (I plan on only spinning the motor to 6500rpms) & two more gears left! At ~80% throttle and running rich the truck feels stronger and pulls way harder than at 100% throttle before! Also it feels like I am short shifting ever time at 6k rpms. It keeps pulling harder and harder up top way more than it used. This is all seat of the pants monitoring too!
I really need to get it dyno tuned, but the only thing that is holding me back in my 1st wedding anniversary is on the 21st! I would have more pics and vids, but my camera completely died!
BTW: I left about a 1/4 piece of head gasket material on the block and that is why I had a nice coolant leak. I fixed that and the oil leak went away that I thought I had at the oil pan. It must have been when I was filling her up with oil!

Damn I really don't know! I lost a lot of my logs, because of my damn lap top, but I did find on one for 75.3% throttle and only 46% duty cycle @ only 4000rpms. I know that this is not what I need to look at so I will get more logs this week and post up!
