I've got some cx shorty headers, but im not thrilled with them, was considering the same blackheart series...

I did use the Vette C6 blackheart shorty headers.

Oh awesome, any chance for some better engine bay photos, clearance around the headers, ac lines? clutch master cyl?

I didnt see any photos of the motec or wiring installed, how was that? I just ordered mine.

I don't have any photos at the moment. The headers fit nice, no major fitment issues.

The AC line on the driver's side the stock one fits. The car will get the custom AC lines into the compressor hopefully next week.

The Motec wiring was pretty straightforward, everything falls into the area where the sensor needs to be plugged to. Getting it into the car was through the sound generator enlarged hole. The Motec ECU itself is just sitting on the floor right now, not yet tucked away behind the glovebox.

The Master Cylinder is TIGHT and required a banjo bolt to clear the valve cover.

I wonder if the wilwood would work any better

The wilwood compact extends farther out than the tilton, but this is not showing the banjo bolt head and washer on the tilton so my guess is they are really close.

Hoping to have AC lines done next week.

A Denso that’s a direct replacement for the AC Delco OEM C6 Base

I'd still like to see some more engine bay & motec photos whenever you get the chance- I'm not-so-patiently waiting for my motec setup to arrive and am trying to research every angle before it does.

got the car on the road yet?

I installed the engine with the old OEM compressor from the C6 LS2 I bought, so at this point its literally unbolting the old and bolting the new one in.

There were absolutely no fitment issues with it.
