yea another good point with the trans member, it just bolted right up to the trany. just bolting it to the frame i need to drill out to bolt that down, but i got one bolt on each side holding it so i only need to drill a hole on each side.
beating the trans tunnel was a work out!! lol

Yea, I know what you were going through. The precise hits were with the right hand and the WGAF hits were with the left.
Now that you mention it, I did have to drill an extra hole for the cross member. The stock rear hole was OK, but I needed another one for the 'new rear' hole. Keep it up.

well i came across a zo6 came but got sold for 160.. so am looking a other options. tomorrow ill find out how much to port my heads. if i cant do that then a cam a springs is the only thing ill probably do..
i did find a 05 gto intake with fuel rail, tb and all off the accessories with brackets for 350
but i want to keep my truck acc. he wont let it go alone!
but it is a good price!
so anyting under 550 lift i should be good with just springs?

The 05 gntake would be the ls2 and then it would also be the dbw instead of dbc. I just saw a LS6 cam in the classifieds for $50 not sure if its still on here or not but if you are looking for one that would be a good deal.

O nevermind, i just saw that this is older post and that you have done stuff already, when I looked at one of the post dates didnt look at year and once I did saw it was from 2009 and that there were already multiple other posts, sorry about that.
