becareful with that TBSS intake swap,i lost mph and ET with it on my setup.
I track test every mod i do.
Thats too much intake for a 5.3.Its to big which slowed down air velocity.
Yea everybody claims gains but i am telling u from my trial and error on my setup.

I had heard this but I hadn't heard it from anyone that had actually done it. Good to know for the future.

If you've got the scratch, I'd do the Fast LSXrt

"If you got the scratch" is right... The intake and the TB runs something like 1400, but if you're out of other supporting Mods, and it's all that's left...
