Now I decided to tuck underneath the manifold after someone else did it. I am concerned about the wire compressing to much on engine and manifold. So I decided to shave the bottom and put two side port windows on manifold in order to pass wire thru the sides without any compression. I was originally just going to make a small channel for the wire to run underneath, but I got carried away and shaved the whole bottom. I then decided to wrap the bottom in heat foil tape.
Basically I did this because of the wire, don’t no if any benefits of wrapping bottom with the foil tape but it certainly can’t hurt.
My next mission is get a 2020 Corvette Intake Manifold bolt or just go down to the dealership to see if ordering it is the same. I am a bit concerned if the bolts are the same length or not. It’s piece of mind for me. The Corvette manifold is taller so I almost think the bolts are longer.

Will the MAP wire extension fit under the LT2 C8 manifold cover? Just trying to think of the shortest route for the wire...
At some point, I will do this, and I didn't want to put the LT2 C8 manifold cover, but I am thinking it will be good to mount the fuel line across onto (like the factory LT1 cover) and maybe also secure/hid the MAP wire. I will probably make my own MAP harness or modify something off-the-shelf. Probably also heat-shrink the connector ends not required for service to reduce potential vibration-connectivity points (using non-adhesive-lined heat shrink; this is done on race cars sometimes).
