A better question is do you really need it?

Pretty pricey setup. Intake can sometimes be found fairly cheap. Just gotta look arouond for a good price. Now on the throttle body. FAST makes their own rendition of the 90mm. But Nick Williams and TPIS make one too. So dont feel like you have to buy the FAST 90mm TB. That is if you get the 90mm LSX.

I cant see any reason that the FAST intake would not fit under the hood of a truck. The LS1/LS6 design is much lower profile then our traditional truck intakes. I will admit they do look nice but they dont promote the low end that we need to get these heavy a$$ things moving. They really shine on top end though, between 6-7K from what I have seen. Some one correct me if i am wrong.

Why wouldn't it fit? The stock truck intake is taller than that one.

I also believe that they are designed to handle high manifold pressures. Also I think they are a 3 piece design.
