I also got KOOKs LT's 1 7/8" w/ 3inch catted xpipe to my SLP loudmouth. That will be installed at the same time.

I already have on the car Ricks Ported TB & Modified Manifold followed with an ORSSOM intake.

Picked up some L92 heads they are on their way to Rick for porting :)

Assembly lube for when you slide the cam in.
RTV for corners of front cover.

I'm having the local speed shop do the swap so they will provide that.

You may want to use ARP bolts instead. They are better and if for any reason you have to take it apart one day they are reusable.

Also, you should get the rubber cap that plugs the drivers side valve cover and the hose that goes from the new valley cover to the intake. This is how the LS3 PCV system is. If you are using a catch can you will just need the rubber cap as your catch can will attach to the other 2 points.

Most use TR6 plugs as well. When you get close to +100 HP you go 1 step colder which is a TR6. They are good for 20-30,000 miles since they are not iridium.

How is she man? A new animal? What kind of numbers you hoping for?

[glanzergtx]

Car is done. They had it all finished and started it and ended up have low oil pressure. They replaced the pressure relief valve with a LS3 one they had and took care of the problem.

Here is the thread with dyno #'s

Can you elaborate on what they had to replace with an LS3 part?

Pressure relief valve that is in pan. The one for DOD motors is set differently than the standard LS3 ones.
