Thanks man. The truck intake is good for quite a bit of power. With the Vic Jr I have plans of running a fair bit of nitrous through a carbed nitrous plate. Probably the hardest part is re-wiring the injector leads to the ls1 style injectors that are required, which is not very hard. Also you would either need an intake elbow to go back to your stock throttle body or a 90mm or bigger throttle body or you could run the 4150 4 barrel throttle body I have.

Tyler - do you have any pictures of the engine with this intake set-up? If so I would appreciate it if you posted them here or email me. I really want the 5.3 in this truck to be a fender shaker.

Wow! That looks wicked! Is the intake polished or is that coated? How are you feeding air to the throttle body? What stock components still need to be used for the computer? This is clearly the nicest intake set-up I have ever seen on one of these trucks. I'm still old school and love the look of a carb (or tb) induction system.

The intake is polished. Now I just have a 3 in carb hat with a cone style filter on it. The throttle body came with IAC and TPS sensors and I just lengthened my wires for them. The cable is the stock cable but I had to re-do the end to make it work with a heim end, also the bracket I had to make.
