    mean05: You sayin there may be some potential increase in HP/TQ by swaaping to a 07+?

    Thanks for the quick replies

    there is a small gain...some have said in the 10rwhp gain, i did the swap on my stock 6.0 and if i were to do it again i'd just go with a car intake...looks some much cleaner

    Did you use your stock fuel rail or have to use one that came with the intake?
    If your 05-rail worked the 99-03 rail should fit too.

    i have a 03...i modified the crossover rail and kept my return style rails, but going back on it and doing it over again i think i would have found a better way and used the returnless style rail that comes on the 90mm intake. Now i have gone over to a LS2 intake with some aeromotive rails...10x cleaner install

    I don't know where I came up with that 2005..haha.

    How would you go about adapting the returnless rail? Use the corvette filter/regulator unit? Some other way?
