You ain't kidding theres a huge diffence from 6 to 10psi. You will have 6psi at part thottle and as soon as you put it to the floor you hit max boost.

Hahahaha, this forum is bad for my budget
I assume i will need a different tune and modify something to install the LS!/LS6 manifold? or is it pretty much bolt on?

You will have to get it tuned alittle bit because the intercooler resticts the air alittle at idle but trust me its worth it.

I thought to swap over to the LS1 intake you also had to swap over to the f-body accessories

Hey Golden, not necessarily. Speartech on this board has a plate you can buy that relocates the truck idler pulley. You can then still run truck accesories. You will need however, 97-98vette fuel rail (they have a return line on the rail like the trucks do in those years), injectors that will fit the LS1 fuel rail, and LS1 EVAP solenoid (if you wanted to keep that functioning - it is just emissions though), oh ya LS1 map sensor too.

I did F-bod accessories for plumbings sake. That and it was before anyone thought of just moving the idler. ...well almost everyone. I think XLR8NSS thought of it early on.

Yellowsierra- Jabsco (i'd have to get the part number, but it flows 1.5gpm) I actually run two in parallel as I thought I burned one out, but it wasn't. So now I run 2 There is one that is rated for high heat and flows 3.3gpm on 12volt and cost falf as much as one Jabsco. It is for RV applications and is made by Sureflow. (i'd have to get the exact model number on that one too)

Default air bleeds

Hey ryan nice setup! my question is as far as the intake manifold swap did you change the cylinder head air bleed tube to a ls1 tube where they all connect or did you just leave the truck setup on (2 caps on the back and the front head air bleed) I was thinking about that? Also does anybody know why the truck motor comes with 2 caps for the back air bleeds instead of hooking all four together like the ls1 motor? thanks again!
