The egr valve looks like its turned a different way compared to mine. I wish I could attach a photo but I am not able to do so. The other sensor with what looks like a missing vacum line is not missing a vaccum line at all. Mine is the same, my buddies is the same and yours is the same. Unless someone else can drop some news on our screens? Are you going to change your intake manifold gaskets? If you want some insurance you may want to invest into the aluminum intake manifold gaskets (2nd design). The 1st design Fel Pro aren't bad but you will have that little voice in your head saying "dude, 40 dollars more and you wouldn't have to second guess if you have coolant in your block or when those gaskets will break and go bad". Did you Camaro come in that color by the way? I like it. Mine is black, I mean you can't go wrong for 500 dollars and a lot of work getting it running and legal.

I believe it is a custom color, i bought it like that, and a ton of people like it, not my eagel over my head or anything just have had a lot of complements since just last week when I bought it, the black trims need paint though.
Anyways i did some research looking at pictures of the 3800 S II on google, thats when I noticed my EGR valve it turned wrong, I took it off a few days ago and i have it on the right way its just the egr is turned differently, thats why I think this might be my problem.

btw it came with the logo's(stickers) on the sides, before I bought the car I was thinking about removing them, but I decided to keep them they actually look good lol, and yes I know stickers do not give HP lol
