I was trying to look at the cold air intake and I can't make up my mind. Will it still fit with the car manifold? I'm thinking the pipping can just be angled upwards a few degrees and it should still work.

I guess this depends on whose CAI you are using...

 

The intake will still work regardless!

 

Using the Truck rails, which bolts are needed to be longer? The bolts that connect the intake to the head or the fuel rails to the the intake. I remember Yelo mentioning this and I am still not positive on it.

 

Are you planning on going above 6500RPM?? If not then you are waisting your time on this swap... The truck manifold makes more low end and mid range power than the LSx styles. The LSx styles start to take over above 6000RPM and its not by much until about 6500RPM where the real diference can be seen!!!

 

I hope your right. That way it'll save everyone a bunch of money and they can just use the Truck manifold. If it works out, you wont hear from me.

 

check out my setup

I was going through the same thing b4. And I asked many questions about this swap and learned that it isnt worth it unless you spin high!!! You have to change way too many things in order to make it work and plus you hardly will get to use it in a truck, since most of us spin RPM to about 5900RPM. The setup you see above is going to 6500RPM thats with that N2O and 21 PSI of BOOST

 

Yeah, your DP setup is sweet man.

I'll be shifting at 6800 once I get everything worked out so either way I see a benefit.

You guys can stick to your leaf springs, outdated lobes, and truck manifolds. I'm gonna try something a bit different.

 

Nice well good luck to ya and post some pics up I'm sure its gonna be sweet looking when all said and done
