So you,re saying those Bosch Sparks are no good cause i wasted my money on them also thinkning they were better cause i have them in my integra and it made a huge diff. 91 integ went from losing - to beating the 91-93 5.0 shitsang with exhaust an intake. Of course i have exhaust and intake also but its a 4 banger hehe

01blackerado....does your 5.3 already have an intake manifold on it? if yes then leave it alone, the manifold on the 4.8 5.3 and 6.0 are all the exact same thing. the only ones that are different are the LS1 and LS6 intake manifolds, and the ones like them in the aftermarket. switching to a 6.0 manifold will do nothing for your performance and just leave your bank account a little smaller. supercharging is fine on the stock manifold, i've known guys running upwards of 15PSI on 5.3s with the stock manifold...

Think about it though, electric current grounding through 4 grounding points at the same time. Not likely. And that's how their picture shows it. I fell for it also. Don't fell bad. They are an improvement because I noticed it, but now with the cam they suck. The NGK's from what everyone on here says are a great deal better.

Unless you're planning on some serious cubes and that blower, the stock truck manifolds won't cause you any power loss that you're thinking they will. The flow better than the LS1 stocker but less than the LS6 style.
Sounds like you've been hanging around the 5.0 guys for a while...

i thought the idea behind the 4 points was that it didn't nessecarilly ground at all of'em at once, rather that it just had more chances of a ground period. TR55s are the **** for NA, and TR6s are for power adders

No worries on the thread jacking. hehe But the bosch plugs, you say, are at least better than the stock ones right. So it probably wouldn't hurt to throw them in or what. Should i just try and sell em to some sucker and buy the ngk's
