2010 3.6L LLT Intake Manifold Spacer SetUp

[ScareCrxw]

Hey, I’m currently trying to figure out the best set up to run for my Camaro regarding my intake manifold setup. From what I see through out the forums and videos on YouTube everyone kinda just goes with the JacFab spacer for the LFX in between the LFX manifold and the GMC Acadia adapter that allows the LLT engine to connect to the LFX Intake. I have the LLT engine and while I am going to get the LFX intake and the Acadia adapter I want to know if anyone has ever gotten Mace LLT spacers and used the instead of the JacFab ones? So the new set up would be, engine to spacers to adapter and then intake instead of the one listed earlier?

I also see a lot of people when doing the normal switch they change the EVAP solenoid and one particular Lining that is never named. Does anyone know the name and know what EVAP to run? I do know about the slight splicing of wires to extend it to fit and that is no issue for me.

Thanks in advance and my apologizes if this is all worded sloppy this is my first post ever on any sort of forum or page.

I'm going to use the Tracy Lewis RX spacer.
But I'm also changing over to the LFX setup. The LLT just doesn't flow enough air.
Have all the parts just haven't done it, life.

I’m changing over to the LFX intake as well, just wanted to weigh in all options and setups before making me final decision to order the parts. Mainly just want to see if the weird set up I have planned out in my head will work or if I should stick to what’s been proven to function amazingly. If you don’t mind, what’s the parts list you’re going with?

Well no real parts list.


I bought the intake 12642700 complete new takeoff from ebay. $175
New lower from ebay $110
Ported TB 76mm $250
Misc. parts from RockAuto
I wanted to do a blower but not at the price of 8K or so. Plus all the upgrades to the sound system, suspension, brakes and more.

What kind of misc. parts? Just wanna make sure when I put everything together it flows smoothly. Did you have to change the evap solenoid and lining when installing the set up?

I did not change the evap solenoid that came with the LFX intake. I bought a new pcv hose and some quick connects. When to the hardware store bought some nice chrome hex-head bolts for the intake. They look nice against the blk manifold.
I'm going to install a different catch-can this time around.
It's not a daily driver so if I miss anything I don't care. But it's pretty straightforward.

Thank you so much for the information and advice, wouldn’t happen to know anything about switching out the FE2 suspension to FE4? I already have BC Coilovers and bought a lot of parts for an FE3 to FE4 conversion but I can’t find anything if addition parts are needed for FE2 to FE4

Got any pics? I came across some LFX intakes/manifolds etc... at the local salvage yard but did not pull them yet. I have read somewhere that a tune is required after the install. Did you have to do that? I already have a catch can on my LLT so I imagine it would hook up to the LFX?

No pics sorry.
It just upper and lower manifold RX spacer and that's it.
I do have a tune.

I will have to go to the salvage yard anyhow to pull a clockspring off a Nissan Pathfinder for the wife's horn in her vehicle since it is now inoperative. I may just pull an LFX intake/manifold off for the hell of it and see what I want to do with it in the near future.
