    I lucked out and got the complete set up off of a member who was demodding his truck. I believe all you need is a fuel rail crossover. A extension on one sensor and thats about it. And you use the same acc drive. Its alot easier than the ls6 swap. OHH if i could do it over again I would look into gettin the edlebrock or weiland intake for the ls engines. They look sweet and supposed to have more up sides then the swaps already named.

I would also like to put on a ls6 intake but I don't want to fabricate my accessory drive to make it fit; I heard you can use the f-body accessories to make this work, but I'm not sure(I've only heard). I see that you're planning on putting a trailblazer ss intake manifold on your truck.. do you know what all is involved in doing this? Do you have to modify the truck accessories to make the TBSS intake manifold fit or will it go on without any clearance issues?
    My truck intake made power all the way to 7,000rpm, dont really see much gain on the LS6 over the truck......I seen a test hot rod done and the truck intake performed almost exact as the LS6.....save your money in that area in my opinion.

    I definately wouldnt run the Weiand or the edelbrock due to heat soak.....they perform like crap....look pretty but dont go fast. Hope all this info helps ya, your will be flying before you know it!

    I have a buddy that has a tr220 and Circle D Converter for sale if you have not purchased them yet!
