I might swing out there, depends on the state of the Yeti's (my truck's) tune.

Re: 5.3 to ls2 86 camaro
Dang that's a HUGE intake for that setup. 
My tuner told me he suggests I go with a 92 for right now, he thinks the 102 would be overkill for an n/a LS2.
I can't wait to see what you're running at the track with this.

Re: 5.3 to ls2 86 camaro
I'm very excited to see black headlight buckets on the new paint job. I'm a sucker for mascara.
