That's pretty cool. Good job on your bends. Those are killing me. I'm getting frustrated on figuring out bends.

Keep on the updates.

That is looking bad ass! You really should buy a used Z06 cam and install it with all the effort you are going to. The stock LS1 cam is a total POS for turbocharging and will fall on its face on the top end.

in due time, we just need to get it running for now. The 97-00 LS1 cam looked better than the 01-02 so we used that one. 15psi of boost It should be ok for now.

More updated pics on this are in the forced induction section..... Click the link in my signature.

I love the heater tubes. I was thinking of doing something like that as well. Good idea.

Very nice fab work. The headers and fuel tubing look great.

Congrats, this is my DREAM SWAP!! You could not have picked a better platform, except by putting a manual tranny back in. Your work is very nice and considering the hard costs are relatively low, you're setting this up for easy upgrades down the road!
