Any word on the car yet Jeffrey?????

[DETROITMUSCLE]

Stenod is all finished with the exhaust and they also took the car for the alignment yesterday, Phil will hopefully be heading over in the next few days to do the tune and then I can go pick it up.

Good to hear Jeff! Keep us updated, I want a ride when this things done. Need to see how slow my car really is, haha.

You have to be anxious its been a long build, with baby coming and a few set backs.

[Z28ISGR8]

That's good to hear Jeff.

[DETROITMUSCLE]

You have to be anxious its been a long build, with baby coming and a few set backs.

Anxious doesnt even fully describe how I feel, I have been so excited the last few days that I'll probably sleep for a week straight when I get the car back.

UPDATE!!!

Phil went up to Stenod last night and put a basic tune on the car but he ran into a few snags. The IAC sensor had a loose wire so he quickly fixed that but he was also having some issues with the cam position sensor which I have to resolve. The car still ran, it just had trouble starting at times.

The bad thing was that as he was driving back to Stenod the intake manifold started leaking, he sprayed cleaner into it to see where it was coming from and the pass side is running lean as well as ideling at like 3500rpm so that put a stop on me picking it up today The worst part is it obviously isn't drivable in this condition so I have to have it towed back and fix the issue before he finalizes the tune.

Good to hear its coming along, but sorry for the problems. Ls2 right? So the cam sensor is in the front atleast? I think? Where you able to find where the intake is leaking from? This is the FAST you fixed right?

[DETROITMUSCLE]

Yes its an Ls2 so the cam sensor is up front, I remember Phil giving me some crap about the Katech conversion harness because you need to run something to extend the harness from the back to the front of the motor so I may just make my own and see if that solves the problem.

The FAST intake is the one I disassembled and fixed and it could be leaking from the spot we patched but I would find that hard to believe. I haven't looked it over myself but at this point he wasn't there to repair all my problems so it could be loose bolts, he absolutely hates FAST intakes because they are notorious for leaks so hes told me several times to trash it and slap on an LS6 and be done

Finally got the car back today and I have pics

We will start with the good stuff, first off I want to say thank you to Joe and the guys at Stenod they do absolute top notch work and I really couldn't be happier. They even tucked my exhaust up higher with the 4" cutout than it was before and the welds look great as well. Here are a few pics of the new setup.








After getting the car back I immediatly started tackeling the intake leak problem only to find that the broken bottom half that we spent so much time fixing this winter was cracked bad Guess we learned the hard way and I'm glad things weren't worse but it looks like I am going to have to make a tough decision. Should I buy the bottom piece of the intake from Comp for $370 or go back to a stock TB and buy a LS6 intake for $300? Here are the pics.

[DETROITMUSCLE]

Well it looks like that decision has already been made. FAST no longer produces the older version bottom for my 90mm intake manifold, why they thought it would be a good idea to creat a newer revision that doesn't fit onto older parts as well is way beyond me but I can tell you one thing **** FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MP81]

Can you buy a used one from someone?

[DETROITMUSCLE]

Yeah for about $700. If you meant just the bottoms well those are near impossible to find because the newer version has been out for the last 2 years now.
