Don't waste your dough on the MSD coils, they don't provide any gains and are not as reliable as the factory coils. I've heard of many of those coils failing, while the factory coils are fairly bullet-proof, and more than adequate for most applications

hell, if youre worried about asthetics, get an LS6 intake for it.... cheaper, it'll look nice, and you'll keep a good bit of $$$ in your pocket.

well thats good to know bc those would be the ones to put a hole in my pocket the lsxrt i got a really really good deal that and im only paying half. If i bought the lsxrt i could always turn around and sell it for more i know i could make atleast double the amount i bought it for. do you thing it is a good idea buddy hayes, you always seem to know what your talking about i like my little 4.8 and im not trying the outragous 10s or 11s just low 12s in a 4.8.

Speaking from someone who had a h/c/i 4.8 that shifted at 7k, my new very mild lq9 will smoke it only shifting at 6k without even trying.

H/C/I = Heads/Cam/Intake.

You can do as you wish, and it will serve it's purpose for sure!!! But BlackGMC as well as the others (me included) have been where you've been. If you really looking to save a few $$, sell what you got already and just do a swap. Sounds like a big ordeal but it really isn't that bad once you get into it.

well thanks for the info. i really dont know much im not scared to admit that i dont know, hell ill be the first to admit that i think my truck is slow havent ran it at the track yet. maybe i can find a 427 and stroke it or even stroke mine out to a 383 or 427 would that be easier or getting anothr block be better i really dont know any help would be appreciated i thought the intake bc i got a good deal and i could always put it on a different engine or sell it. but any input would be appreciated.
