Congrats. Sounds awesome!

I know GoDad is thrilled for another dark sider!

That's An Understatement, Especially Having The LS Installed In Front Of A 6-Speed!

New School Cool So Hats Off To Mr. Jeepurz!

Congrats. It sounds good. Find someone local who tunes ls motors and they will be able to work out the issues and make it run even better. The canned tune needs to be adjusted for the air intake and exhaust.

I got my ls motor mounts, trans mount, and driveshaft test fitted last weekend. I'm way behind you on my build though. With a gm spec TKO600 the factory five coyote driveshaft fit just right.

Thanks! And I agree that a tune will help since the stock tune is with a GM air intake and cast exhaust manifolds vs. my custom intake and 1-7/8" long tube headers. For now it'll do just fine and the surging isn't bothersome, just very noticeable. I'm guessing it might get a little old after the initial euphoria wears off just like people comment on the FFR sidepipes. Amazing to hear the loud raspiness at first but after a few thousand miles the nostalgia wears thin with some people.

Time will tell I guess.
