    Here are the fittings:

    Something you need to be aware of with a Flex fuel 2002 engine when/if you start tuning it. The flex fuel engine runs a lower fuel pressure than the normal 5.3. They have a different regulator. When you check your fuel pressure and see it is a little low, that's why.

    i used the SS fuel line vs the rubber line fitting. just a lil security.

    those headers are awsome.

    the valve springs should be changed to a better spring. whats the lift/LSA of that 220 cam sir?

    what radiator are you gonna run? are you keeping your AC? are you gonna go ahead an put some vette servos?

    The Z06 springs should be good to .550 lift and the TR220 is .551. I know maxing them out is not a good idea but Im out of budget.

    Speaking of budget, I just got back from Oreilleys auto parts and have a $450 receipt. (!!!!) All I bought was fluids, lines, hoses, clamps, connectors, etc etc etc etc

    Im using my 5.7 radiator. Gonna buy the Powers AC kit when I get the money. No trans modifications at this time. Just the stall converter.

    Thanks. I will remember that. Hopefully with Allen doing my tune I wont have to mess with tuning much. But that will be good to remember for diagnosis.
