BGRAYS setup is very similar to mine i looked at every option the best i could find was the TBSS/NNBS intake only other option was a fast 92mm or a fast 102mm for a f-body aka LSXR but i dont want anything to do with fast products anymore I'm pretty sure BGRAY dosent either.
I know about the slight low end tq loss, but from what ive read its only around 10ft lbs or so until mid range rpm then its same if not more tq above.. And Hp is better across the board with it, im not sure exactly what he uses his truck for but i assumed it was mostly show not racing and a nice intake would be easy on the eyes when you pop the hood.. and any decently sized converter would cover up the few ft lbs lost down low..
my only concern was the tuning capability of it, which i assume it has to be better than a shitty flexing fast piece, id hope at least..lol
just my 2cents..
and i dont disagree with tbss intake is an option, it does make more power i had it done on my last truck, but it just looks so god awful (unless covered up) when you pop the hood and doesnt scream "performance" when you see it..

Think im gonna put the stocker one, 6.0 engine covers, and call it a day. Im tired of ******* around.
if you mostly just cruise the truck like me do a TBSS/NNBS setup with a engine cover you wont regret it other then maybe in the looks department

Yea if you are going to put the stocker on, then at least get the TBSS.

thats a pro-flo XT looks badass but like i stated earlier he's goin to loose some low end TQ DARK HALO and RAFFMAN both used this intake and they both had the same outcome loss of low end grunt and thats not something you want in a truck unless you've got alot of cubes or a blower or turbo to make up for it
