Default LQ4, L92 heads *UPDATE*

thanks to my brother I got a set of ls3 heads. I picked up a truck l92 intake and rails and was going to use a vette filter, but ended up using the stock l92 fuel rail on the drivers side, then used the crossover to connect my lq4 return rail to the passenger side. Im using the stock 75mm tb for now, but it does seem to pull alot harder.

Im a cheap sob, I usually make my stuff. The throttle bracket is 1/4 of a 4bbl carb plate!! I used 1/4" aluminum for the carb spacer. It looks messy now, I have to re-route a few lines on the intake so it looks a little cleaner.

I wish I wouldnt have taken the bigger cam out, Im running a 02 zo6 cam now, and Im sure the small throttle body is holding it back.

How much was the gain from L92 heads/intake swap?

I am about to do the same swap. Does L92 intake with fuel rails fit the LQ4/9 directly?
