Getting the new 212/218 comp cam wednesday, I am considering going ahead & having the ls1 intake installed as well. I believe that all I will need is the longer intake bolts & to cut the waterneck off the water pump. After reading the chp article this looks as if it would be a good idea. any suggestions? What does this require?

 

I keep hearing that the truck intake is better... from several people.. I have a LS1 intake waiting to go on but from what I'm hearing I'm putting it off for now.

 

From everything I have read about the intakes, there is no real advantage of running the ls1 intake. Ours make alittle more tourqe down low where we need it. Just my .02

 

I have seen the same on the thread, but with the 212/218 cam the ls1 intake showed an advantage over the truck in this month's chevy high performance. it was about 25 hp. So I feel like there has got to be some advantage....?????

 

I'm with you on that one. I know you're dying for a 14sec timeslip!

 

the truck manifold stacks up very well compared to the ls1. go ahead and buy the LS6 if your gonna do the swap

 

What all mods will have to be done to make the ls intake fit?? I wonder if it would have the same hp outcome with my 224/230 cam??

 

an ls6 intake would really help on your setup.
your standard split is aiding the exhaust gases escape. a help in the intake flow would help balance out the intake/exhaust.
with your setup, i would think anything helping out intake flow would be a plus.

 

your right about the timeslip! I am dying to whoop your ***! I put the 20's back on & this truck feels soooooo slow! Brad is putting the cam in wednesday. In the chevy high performance magazine it shows that they had a 22 hp increase over the truck intake with the same cam...... Brad said he would look & see if he can do it all in one day.

I am concerned about the injector bushings, everyone talks about having to replace them but no one has a part number

 

btw, heres some good info on swapping
