LIM, inj o-rings, coolant elbows. Other than that, wait up for the blown guys to show up and chime in.

-metal lower intake gaskets and some black RTV (either new FelPro design or GM)
-12 injector o-rings
-both coolant elbows
-2 lower intake coolant o-rings
-thermostat o-ring and thermostat
-valve cover gaskets - now is the best time since you have everything off, preventative maintenance
-supercharger gasket
-cheap oil and filter and good oil and filter
-coolant


Check your belts before you order to see if you need to replace them or not.

Also, check your water pump for play and replace the pump if necessary. Check other idlers and tensioners for play as well, but most importantly the water pump.

This is also the best time to do the water pump if it needs to be done since everything is off, it's easily accessible and the coolant is already drained.

slight idling problems the car shakes a bit and drops about 100 or 200 rpms was in a car wash with friend so when the camera shakes it was from that but this happens when the car is warmed up like 50% of the time when its idling 0:30-0:40 is when you can see it most

Mine does that too lol. I've never tried to fix it since it hasn't been an issue yet.

Also, I saw some of your other vids. The manager was mad at the coning prank lmao. Slammed that window shut haha.

It's a stupid prank but he made the video funny.

don't forget about maybe the snout coupler?? not sure if you need it or not though. We replaced ours long before doing the LIM and it tore some of the gasket but don't know if it was a big problem or not but would be a lot easier to change that out now since it would be easier accessible.

instructions on replacing the coupler.

Here are some other links that might help with the install, I think I have some messages I might could forward over to you too.

think this one is right but had it favorited
zzp parts
write-up

Thought I had some more, but some of the clubgp links don't work anymore but I should have some info in my inbox from blackarrow I can pass along!
