    I got a SS intercooler that will be installed in the spring. Would a ZZP LIM be worth the extra cash?

    nope. waste of money. do it yourself with a dremel in 15 minutes.

    besides, i dont think you need to open up the LIM with an SSIC.

    Just as with any other intercooler, you don't HAVE to open up the blower and LIM, but you should to get the full effect. You don't have to buy one from ZZP, though, you can do it yourself.

    I figured it would only be a few more bolts since I'm already taking everything else off (unless the injectors are in the LIM) but sweet deal. Thanks for the Info!

    It's a cupple more bolt, And a cupple more bucks. Don't forget about the 50 aluminum intake manifold gaskets you have to buy

    The gaskets where on the back of my mind actually. While we're on the subject, does anyone know if the fuel lines need to be cut if i buy the injector spacers?

    few more bolt to get it off, just make sure you go to the proper sequence when putting it back on.

    I'll have plenty of slack right now or with the injector spacers?

    Am I more likely to have a leak extending the lines or using the injector spacers?

    Nope you'll still be fine. There is a lot of slack in the stock lines. So whether you do fuel rails,spacers or what ever you'll be fine.
