I have a 2013 silverado with a 4.8 in it. I already have a cam I was planning on putting in my 05 5.3 but never did. I know I'll have to get a new timing cover to delete the VVT. My biggest question is would I benefit any from installing a TBSS intake manifold on this engine? I have searched and haven't been able to find much. The cam is a stage 1 BTR truck cam, it says it will work with stock converter.

 

No you won’t

 

There's no functional difference between the TBSS intake and the one that comes on the GENIV 4.8L.

 

Thanks! I wasn't sure since there is nothing about swapping the intakes. I had the thought that maybe the engineers changed the intake design but I wasn't sure.
