Congrats to you guys that got in the magazine, your trucks are sick!!

By the way, did anybody read the Readers rap on page 17? About switching to and ls6 intake costing 700-1000 dollars and most guys that do have their wires held together with duct tape?

it is that expensive, but ive never seen wires held with duct tape. our harness isnt made for that intake though so you have to get creative to make it look good.

The way he makes it sound though is the guys that are doing the swap are dropping a grand for an intake swap and half ass'n the job.... and granted, I haven't done the swap so I could be 180 off but I would think that you could do that swap for a bit less if you lurked the forums and searched around.

this is the cost of doing it the right way and average prices i would expect to see.

intake 300ish
svo injectors 130ish
return style ls1 fuel rail 80ish
new manifold gaskets 20ish
new manifold bolts 20ish
new injector pigtails 20ish
new water pump 180ish?
new belt 25ish
relocating idler 10ish
new map sensor 30ish
misc fuel lines/adaptors 15ish

830ish before you start selling off crap you dont need anymore.

and from MY experience: gains=ZERO

true, it wasnt available at the time, but i had no choice but to waite since i run bigger heads (ls3/l92) and there was no aftermarket intake available for my setup



intake, fuel rails, injectors,throttlebody, necassary AN fittings breaded hose, less 2k doesnt matter if its necassary or not, if i gain even 10 or 35 i am happy..

i like to keep my setup matched so if i have a intake that calls for a 102mm tb then thats what i will put on it, they say the 90mm would fit, BUT mine didnt, thus why mininumize the size (92tb if it even fits ) and go with what its called for? ( 102mm tb ) plus mind you what i do is for my future build of a 408 stroker.
