just want a little feedback from the LS-1 owners on the big project I'm going to be starting when I get to Guam. here's the list of part I plan on going with.

RGR stage 2 Heads
Comp Cam 224/224 .581/.581
Push rods
LS6 Intake
ASP pulley
Hooker LT headers/ Y-pipe/ O2 simms
NKG Plugs
Taylor Wires
TNT F1 System

Moser 12 Bolt/ 33 Slpine axels/ 1350 yoke
Spec Stage 3 clutch
GM high Carbon Billet Flywheel
Updated GM Hydraulics.

How bad will the install be. Anything I over looked??

The first time you shift hard on an aluminum flywheel, you will shatter it!!! Get a steel one. Also all my friends and I have had problems with Moser 12 bolts making alot of gear whine. I would reccomend a 9" they don't whine near as much.
You did not mention any computer tuning. You WILL need tuning with heads and cam. I would recommend getting LS1 Edit, and a lap top, and tuning it your self. You can get files from other people on what they did to tune. Or at least send your computer in and get it tuned.
You will also need a better drive shaft, it will break also under hard launches, or shifts. I would recommend Denny's Nitrous Ready.
If you have any more questions just ask, if I don't know the answer, I will find it. You can also check out my site.

Tuning! You WILL need it, but with a M6 you might just get away with it for a while if you drill out the TB opening a little bit. I'd get LS1 edit if I were you. Best bet will be to dyno tune it.

See I'm going to Guam and not to sure about their tuning abilities are going to be, But I was going to have Tbyrne custom tune a computer for me.

How hard is LS1 Edit to use?? I'm not computer illiterate but just curious. Where can I find a Drop in 9in? I think LS1Speed Inc only sells Moser and Strange 12 bolts? As far as the flywheel I think its billet steel. But thank you both for the advice. I'll be posting pics etc as the build up continues which will be a while.

LS1 Edit isn't exactly "easy" but you can figure it out with time pretty easy. As far as a custom tune computer goes, it should do the trick for now, but I would still dyno tune it one day when you get back to civilization!

Just call Moser or Strange, they both make 9" rearends, they will help you.
