This actually looks really good, I know its still early days but since youve done it, has the LT2 intake given any gains? Ported or not? Are there conversion kits for the LT1 out there, since I remember reading something about the LT2 intake being inversed due to the C8 being mid-engine and therefore wouldn't line up on the LT1 the right way?

Installed the Z26 pads and rotors. I don't track the car so these should do fine as a daily driver. Also went ahead and painted the calipers yellow-goldish.



Personally, I think it adds a nice touch and isn't overbearing at all.

Dyno on Tuesday, will see the gains then . Ported with a LT5 TB.
It lines up fine. GPI takes out a few spots so it fits perfectly.

GPI has the manifold and parts.

Very nice, also a surprisingly good price on the intake itself, compared to say the MSD one thats out there for the LT1... if theres some decent power this might be a viable alternative, this cover looks tons better than that frankly hideous Camaro cover that on our LT1 engines... maybe the aftermarket will make one without the corvette badge on top as well possibly, I do dig the shiny stainless steel rails themselves

Did you use just film or did you get the pre-formed wrap pieces?

Either way, more details, pls.

I’m going to have some long winter months coming up & there’s interior/ exterior stuff I’d like to do.

Me and the wife repainted my calipers with white G2 yesterday [5 coats on each caliper]. And I'll be putting on some black brembo decals later today [around 33 hours after curing].
