You will lose bottom end with the ls1 intake. Besides, the truck intake flows as good as the LS6 intake.

The truck intake will not fit under the cowl panel in the f-bodies. Unless you want to cut it and the windshield to make it fit.

Re: 01 LS1 f-body intake on 5.3

as stated many times in a few posts, the ls6 intake and truck intake flow pretty close to the same, but the truck intake produces more torque, the runners are longer than the ls6/ls1/holley intakes.
