why TBSS??????????

Iwas wonderin about the tbss intakes and if they are better that a ls6 on a truck (for low end). Or are they just a different style ls6.
The point im gettin at is that i have a 4wd and guys are saying they are loosing low end.. SO.... Is it worth it how much hp would u expect from ls6 or tbss. And what is the most u would pay for both?

Any input would be great..
First hand exp. from a 4wd would also be sweet!!!

Thanks Guys
-Nate

The TBSS intake is a 90mm intake is why some "very modded trucks" are going to it. You will lose low end torque with the car intake. With a 4x4 you want as much low end torque as you can get. Stick with the truck intake

I personally don't know first hand but I know of alot of members in here that run that same cam for a DD.(edit: If I'm not mistaken, a majority have the 114LSA.) Is this a street application or mostly off-road? I wouldn't spend the money on the TBSS intake if I was you. Maybe some others will chime in on the cam.

112 sounds pretty tight for a heavy DD and a 5.3. I'll defer to others' opinions.

Talking

Gotcha. What is this thread about? What was I saying? I'm just hypnotized by your avatar

I'm sure the gay architect that likes to crap on himself will see this tomorrow and spec you out a nice cam...just remember his truck is slow and don't let him talk you into echo tips
