Thanks guys!!

Its IN!!! - have not driven it yet - needs to be tuned (today)

Only snag we hit was the headers I bought. I ordered them for a 6.0L - which did not work b/c of the difference in the exhaust flanges. So as not to delay I just put the stock 5.3 headers on and will replace them when the Gibson 5.3 headers come in.

Otherwise it was not to bad - a lot of work but mostly straight forward.

Few of the 6.0 going in
More pics to come!
