keep this updated in the southern section if you dont' mind. i'm having some ideas floating around for my 6.0 and i was thinking of a weiend(sp) intake. i'm still looking at the typhoon intake. and i have heard someone is making a sheet metal intake just for the trucks but i can't find anything as of yet.....
not to hijack the thread but what do you guys think nitrous would do with a aluminum intake vs the composite. i think it would cool the **** out of it.

I have kind of a lame question,this is also a hijack.I know the answer but I will ask you.Can someone put a N/A 5.3 RCSB into the 12s for $2K or less in mods? Reason i ask is I have been taking a thrashing over at the Dodge forum saying no way,actually its one or two .Looking at your mod list $2K should be easy if you shop it hard and of couse you do all your own work.What say you?

I hate to say this but that intake sucks. That is the first intake I put on my truck when I swap to a car style intake. I didn't pick up enough hp to make up for the massive loss in torque and how badly it gets heat soaked. But it will hold one hell of a direct port kit.

150 nitrous wet shot used on ebay $350 (Bought it)
3200 PI Vigilanti Stall used on ebay $300 (almost bought it too but missed by $25)
Custom cold air intake (not sure) maybe $60
Slightly used cam $190 (Bought it)
Slightly used Z06 Springs $35 (bought it)
3.73 or 4.10 gears $190 new, install from $200 to what $400
Tune $350 to $450
thats $1,475 to $2,000
And I would say on a Regular cab with a 5.3 i bet 12's would be easy with that combo for less than $2,000
