You know when it comes to finding parts, building the Callaway and finding TPI parts has been an bigger PITA than the LT-5(that has alot to do with the group here)....also the wiring on the LT-5, layout and consistency of what fasteners are used is much better than the TPI setup, overall I think the LT-5 is actually an easier motor to work on....

Seriously, go back and pull an L98 intake someone, holy sht....LT-5 much easier and wiring, etc pretty well thought out vs the L98....PITA

Need a part for the LT-5... go to Jerry, its all there; alot of L98 and LT-1 stuff....discontinued and not valuable enough for anyone to carry.

I agree. I had to redo my L98 tpi several times to get it to stop the vacuum leaks, much harder then your current intake.

What parts are you looking for?

Oh man... I know you will come up with a solution as talented as you are.

I personally like the idea of having a reason to drive the beast as said above by BFR.

I think owing a Twin Turbo and ZR-1 is the ultimate combo. While I'm working on the Callaway, I can always drive the Z :)
