You're looking at GVW I believe, your truck doesn't weigh that much.

around 4500#. My 4x4 excab weighs 5300#. And a 102mm intake might be alittle overkill for your 4.8 unless your turbo'd

I'd honestly spend the $1000+ elsewhere, like a new longblock, rather than putting money into that 4.8. Yeah a few people here have made them fast but it takes a lot more effort. In all honesty, you could find a 6L shortblock, reuse your whole topend, and have way more power and the potential to do tons more down the road for about tue same money.

And your truck weighs 4300-4600 lbs depending on trim and drivetrain.

If you want to spend that kind of money on mode right now and keep your 4.8 I would suggest a cam upgrade. Use the money you would have spent on the larger TB to upgrade your exhaust. That will give you a lot more perfromance than the intake will. That intake is serious overkill for that engine.

And my CCSB 4x4 6.2 weighs ~5600 as it sits. No way you're over 5k.

damn its been awhile that ive read my own threads... i do have a cam, heads, tune, stall, valve springs, cai, longtubes full exhaust. and i want it for the looks really i know yall are gonna say for the money but i found one for 600 with fuel rails and hoses. took alot of phone calls. i plan on getting a procharger setup or a sts turbo rear mount, but i have a baby on the way so i can only get the gf to get the lsxrt. hopefull before the baby comes i can have the intake manifold installed and have those msd ignition coil packs

Well it would definitely look good, no doubt about that. And you'd probably see some gains on the big end. But the real payoff won't come until you're boosted; until then it will have been more for the wow factor than for the performance gain.
