OK just ordered all the above with the exception for the knock sensor harness which I ordered the Dorman since the AC Delco is just connectors and not the whole harness. Tomorrow I'm ordering a Whipple from Black Bear.

I know you were saying the fel-pro intake manifold gasket is the best but I was reading that the teal gasket is the newer version over the red, but rockauto has the felpro in red and black only, and magnum makes the teal gasket.

With the knock sensors mentioned above, I've read to surround the gasket in RTV 3/4. Why not all the way around, and which color would be best to use?

I'm doing mine all the way around. Don't know if the color matters, but I'll use blue. I like blue.

Thanks! Make sure you take some pictures, I'll probably be doing all mine here soon too.

I'll be taking pictures for my build thread. I ordered all the parts along with the Whipple last week but it will be awhile before I get it. I've heard it will be at least a month.

Is it easier to replace the oil pressure switch or try and get it sealed up? The switch works as advertised but it may be leaking!
