One is a car DBW LS2 style ported and polished TB, the other is a stock truck LS2 style TB.

I did the UDP, tune and a CAI all at the same time. Big difference afterward but not sure how much was due to the UDP.

What all did you have to change to run 5 lug wheels? What size?

I'm guessing yes but I'm not an expert.
Both TB's bolted right up to the truck intake on my 06 aluminum 6.0 TBSS.

I'm not a fan of big wheels. My last DD was a 95 Camaro with a 396 solid roller cam and a road race suspension setup. With my vette wheel setup I got more tire contact and a much lighter setup. And I think it looks good. The guys that 'upgrade' to 22" (or bigger rims) think it looks bad.
