seems pretty cool, but as for bang for the buck mods the LSX intake is pretty damn expensive for the gains IMO

Since 99.9% of 5.3 motors are in trucks I wish they would of picked a cam that was more suited for trucks. And you are right that LSX **** if expensive.

They chose a big cam because they wanted to illustrate the big power potential for relatively low cost.

$3000 dollars put them what.... 170HP over stock.

Soon we will be able to do the LS2 intake which is much less then the LSX and comparable.
