Yes should have zero issues on c6 vette.


c5 vette i need customer to supply rails and inj for me to insure cowl fitment, otherwise my default rails to use will need to notch cowl on c5 only

Billet valley plate, new valve covers, and steam vent kit installed ready for the intake. Fuel rails are sitting next to car. Just waiting for this bad boy to show up.

I've seen quite a few guys adding the steam vent kit....what's the skinny on it ?

Also...make sure you have the Holley #534-224 fuel rails ordered or in your hot hands and hex head cap screws for the intake bolts (I think 5mm shorter than throttle body bolt). You'll have to change your inlet pipe too to accommodate the 15 degree angle of the new throttle body position. Fit is excellent by the by....

Fuel rails have been here for a few weeks.

What hex head cap screws?

Shouldn't have to touch the intake pipe, as it has enough flex in couplers to accommodate that, if not I have a hump hose to flex.

Steam vent is just to vent the rear of the heads, for high HP applications. Lets air out that can form when coolant boils/etc. Good for high HP applications.

I'm going to use the OEM LS9 TB part #25828560 intake hose (accordion) to fit the Goertz intake downward angle to my LG super ram air intake. The LG is a very rigid intake and doesn't move much, makes it more challenging to fit the TB up to it if the TB is at an angle. I have the OEM LS7 accordion to try also, but the LS9 has about 15 degrees built into it and looks like it will fit.

Link to LS9 TB accordion:

The bolts that come with the holley rails do not fit the bosses of the G1 intake, I'm told they are M6.

Intake bolts m6 by 40mm I think

I thought the same with my inlet pipe....but it ends up being a touch shorter than any coupler I can lay my hands on so I'm doing a custom pipe. Yours might be closer...but figured I'd give you a heads up.

You didn’t care about deleting sensor?

Hasn't been knock sensors on valley plate since gen 3 days. That is ls1 old school stuff. Gen 4 stuff is side of block.

Holley LS valve covers, tall ones. Had the same ones before in short. No idea why I went tall besides maybe one day do a shaft rocker, but same thing I had before. Just wanted to clean up since my old ones have 1/2 fittings welded on, and new setup will have a different routing so not needed.

Does that steam vent kit use solid tubing or hoses? I can't tell in the pic

Looks nice

Attn

Anyone with a older design Ltx vette manifold.
We're issuing a voluntary recall.
The large top plenum surface area causes a bit more stress on the top welds than expected.
You will be given the option to either have your manifold braced or just upgrade to a newer design intake where this is no longer an issue.
We don't always get stuff right but we stand 100% behind our product and our name.

You won't be disappointed. I'll be running a steel tube direct port Meth system underneath. You've given me an idea with that nice valley cover..where did you get it?

ICT billet. Got it off amazon but you can buy it direct too. You need to add the oil pressure sensor adapter if you want to keep oil pressure sensor.

Are you manual or auto? I'm curious about which nozzles you are running and if you have any check valves in the system?

My experience the one time I tried direct port was at the end of a run or in between shifts, the meth was being pulled through the nozzles but it wasn't atomized so it created a condition where the fuel puddled in the intake runners and the air-fuel was excessively rich.

What plans are in place to avoid these issues?

if the nozzles are in the intake there must be check valves in the system, or a solenoid to control flow.

Aquamist make nice little nozzles with check valves built in, this also ensures no lag in the system as the valve is right at the point of spraying.

I have an M6 car. I also have an Aquamist system which has an in-line check valve. I used this kit in my last vehicle and need to order new nozzles.
