Will help up top, most likely. If you could find dyno graphs of both a TBSS and GTO you'd probably see where the car style intake makes more power.

Just swapping intake for intake I don't think you'll pick up that much, but it's one of those things that if you're going to cam/port heads/LT, you'll see more of a return.

You will probably lose torque down low and city driving and fuel economy will suffer.I would do the TBSS intake before that one,but that is just me.

why not?
dyno proven that ported ls2 intake makes significant top end VS. tbss/nnbs intake . . .

with minimum or no loss at low end..

Once mine is fully ported and towers knocked off-

I'll post the differences over the TBSS intake..
