Default Firewall mod for FAST manifold?

Does anyone have any pictures of what is involved in cutting the firewall to accept this manifold? Or just type how big the 'blemish' would be.

please e-mail pics to me or post

Detentionizover@yahoo.com

Thanks

No first hand here, but I was just talking with LG Motorsports and they told me that the firewall is not cut, but rather the "gutter" tray below the wipers. I was told that a small sliver had to be cut out of that tray to fit. Hopefully someone will have pics, I'd like to see too.

I'll be at LG tomorrow, and if Lou's C6 is there, I'll take a look (if they let me), as his is installed.

I trimmed the back of the manifold and also the firewall. It's actually not the firewall at that point, but it is fiberglas and needs to be glassed back in.
It made 22 RWHP difference on my 427.

I'm beginning to think I need a direct line to you Andy. Called today but you were out 'playing'. Do you know the LS2's piston deck height?...is it .007 like the ls6?
