Hmm well honestly I have to pull it off to replace the oil sending unit so I guess I can compare the pics once I remove it, but again going out on a limb, and with the eBay parts I'm guessing stock intake Mani.

We can still do a shoot next summer, even if it isnt a Z lol. Congrats buddy, hope your loving it.

Count the steam vents if there are 4 its definitely LS1

cant comment on the Maf. i allways kept the factory maf started modding...even when i went to H&C still ran a stock maf. i was making 630rwhp on the stocker. i would imagine the Granetelli will work just as well as long as its tuned.

C5 corvettes don't have EGR's... F-body manifold's weren't 100% identical to those of the corvette, but were swappable.

Odds are you just have an LS1 intake. In 2001 they did away with the LS1 intake manifold all together, and every LS1 produced there after already came with the LS6 manifold (including F-body, GTO, etc...)

The MAF, if properly tuned for it, should be alright, but I agree that the stocker is just fine for plenty of power. I'm H/C + 92/90 + bolt ons on the stock MAF too.

I stand corrected..TY sir.

boostedfury · 05-14-2012, 08:48 AM

Ok glad that's cleared up haha now what are the thoughts on the intake? Better to trade for a stock unit?

99corvette · 05-14-2012, 11:30 AM

Well looking at the pictures posted, if the ls1 manifold is on the right then you have whats on the left, because I don't see a freeze plug right behind the throttle body on top. Just going by the picture.

boostedfury · 05-14-2012, 01:59 PM

Hmm I wonder if there are any special stampings on it to tell without removing it!

Thats what we just cleared up. the ls1 intakes on the vette's didnt have a provision for the EGR cause they didnt have EGR like they did on the f-bodys, therefore it wouldnt have the hole there. so aslong as the intake wasnt swapped out, its a ls1 intake on his car. the pictures i posted are of a F-body ls1 intake more than likely...i just pulled them off google for a quick referance.

99corvette · 05-14-2012, 02:21 PM

Yea your right, I just looked at my engine bay pics and I had the same manifold on my 99 c5 and it was stock.

boostedfury · 05-14-2012, 09:19 PM

Gave the c5 it's first wash today and then it rained haha! Still such a great feeling!

boostedfury · 05-16-2012, 07:46 AM

Just dropped the vette off for its first inspection and a fresh Mobil 1 oil change!

Zaior · 05-16-2012, 07:52 AM

Next comes headlights right? lol

boostedfury · 05-16-2012, 08:21 AM

Yep!! Need to order the headlight gear repair kit and also new headlight hardware haha

boostedfury · 05-16-2012, 02:02 PM

So car is all finished the inspection and oil change and everything checked out! So next on the list is ordering up the new brass headlight gear kit to repair the driver side motor and reinstall the stock headlights(thank God! Lol).

caldwell · 05-16-2012, 03:02 PM

dante do you have any further direction with the vette, or is this just gonna be a drive and maintain journal ???

this is such an epic platform as you know, so im hoping to see some more POWA !!!!

boostedfury · 05-16-2012, 03:24 PM
