Please check your fuel line...
My apologies to the 'Vette guys if this doesn't appy to you. But for us LS2 and LS1 GTO owners, the fuel rail cover cuts into the tubing that surrounds the fuel line, and will possibly cut into the line itself over time. If you'd like to look at the thread it's at

Mine is an '05, and the problem is definitely there. They put a little foam pad around the line for '05, but the foam is already sliced half through (7000 total mile on the car), so it's just a matter of time before it's no different than an '04.
But if it isn't a problem on the 'Vette, then
Have fun, and remember: keep the shiny side up!!

I don't know. If yours is SS in the same location I'm talking about then

(pun intended)For me, it's the line that extends beyond the edge of the fuel rail cover, toward the firewall.
Is there a good pic of that area of the C6 engine? Maybe my whole post is moot!

I guess I could have google'd a pic of the c6 engine bay before posting this. The GTO setup is different altogether AFA the fuel line leaving the rail cover.Sorry for the waste.
