    Response:

    The wires on the rear do not go between the valve cover and the UIM. (shakes Head**)

    The Front boot tops do have the grommets but I just didnt have them the night I finished up. They are on there now and like Dave said you can use the Dodge V8 gommets.

    I have heard lots of good and lots of bad comments about the aftermarket coils from MSD and ACCEL. We will have to wait and see.

      Again. Kudos to you taking the time to do a write up like that. I know I've run out of the patience to help people out.

      But again as said, very high performance modern GM cars can still run their stock ignition without much trouble.

        ez you are right and I dont disagree with anyone on this. Stock Ignition is good enough.

        I would like to add though that I have had 6 stock coils go bad on several Z24s that I have owned over the years. I dont put all my trust into stock GM coils.

          I think its very good write up. I'll probably go with the taylor blue wires when I do mine just because itwill match my under hood.

            On your z25 were the coils mounted under the header like on the 91-95 lq1? Heat kills any coil thats why they moved them.

              VERY nice install.

              You have something unique. personally, i would have just bought a set of magnecores and called it a day. Your kit probably cost less than a set of magnecores though.

              when you do your wet kit, you should seriously consider putting a fogger nozzle in every runner. I cannot speak for the 96-97 intakes but the 91-95's didn't distribute the nitrous evenly when i had a single nozzle in front of the TB. IIRC the rear bank got more of it than the front bank.

                Ooh, thats interesting. I assume the rear bank is likely getting more airflow too then?
                How did you determine the rear bank was getting more nitrous? Did you run an O2 sensor for each bank?

                  there were indications of a noticably hotter burn on the rear plugs. iirc i done a band aid by going down 2 heat ranges for the rear and 1 for the front.
