I have a cure for the water pump issue. http://www.ls1truck.com/forums/mecha...tml#post241125
No more pulling pullies off and pressing back on. No more potential to destroy two pumps at once. gotta use the Fbody tensioner. Hope to finish the install soon if I can find me a junk fbody pump to finish the mockup.

very nice red!
also to add... someone pointed out to me in a pm that you can spot weld a nut on the pulley and thread a bolt in it. this way it is used as a puller to pull it out some to where it lines up with the other accessories. when finished, just grind the spot welds off and remove the nut.

thats a good idea but you still end up with a pump without a usuable pulley unless someone swaps the one off of theirs. We're going to look into a kit for the idler pulley too, once I find a pump to finish the mockup, even if it's just supplying the shim and a longer bolt.

So does anyone have a link to a dyno comparison of the LS6 intake VS. the truck intake? I've read several articles on the swap, some claim that no torque is lost with the LS6 while others claim that they lost a lot of low end power. I've passed up a few good deals on intakes because I don't want to lose anything down low since it would be on a dd and won't see 6k very often, but hey if no torque is lost then I'm all for it. How many on this site have done the swap? and what are your opinions of it?

Chevy High Performance did a truck to LS6 to FAST 90 comparo back in 04 or 05. Might ask someone at NP since they were involved in some of the LS testing the magazine did back then.
nice write up
get the LS6 cam and you can feel the pull up high
so the TBSS intake will handle the higher rpm's.
