Send me that info as well if you dont mind please.
AP there is some modifications to accomidate our truck injectors, fuel rails and evap solinoids. But other than that...pretty straight foreward.

You need to grind down the mounts for the fuel rail to fit the truck injectors and the EVAP solinoid needs to be rigged some. You will need to rig up some sort of cable bracket. Also that vac. tube that comes off of the Fuel pressure regulator needs to be integrated into your main vac line. FWIW-Thunder550 has pics of his setup.
Shooting you a pm about your setup....

I had Richard dig up this old thread for us

Next I tested a rectangular radius flow plate that blocked off the triangular intake roof entrance. The rectangular plate approximates the size and location of the manifold’s runner match up at the head. In total I tested 5 intake manifolds. I didn’t have a FAST to test, but if I get the opportunity, I’ll test and post the results.

The test was performed on a JKM600 Flow bench. I tested what would be the number 3 cylinder on each intake (one of the two center ports). There were no throttle bodies used in any of the tests. All ports were capped to force air to flow through the manifolds. My sources tell me that the 5.3l and 6.0l truck intakes are identical. If anyone can confirm this I'd appreciate it.
Some comments and observations…… I wasn’t too surprised to see the LS6 and Edelbrock intakes do better than the truck and LS1. I was surprised to see the SSR do as well as it did because it looks like a 90mm throttle body flange was grafted onto a standard truck intake. What can we learn from this test? These tests can help us evaluate each intake runners flow capacity. In other words, how restrictive they are. I suppose I should test each and every runner, but I haven't got the time for that. This test cannot tell us how the intake performs in entirety. That’s up to the dyno or race track. I certainly believe the truck intake becomes a flow restriction in the higher rpm ranges especially on more highly tuned applications. The truck’s dual chamber design can produce excellent low end torque similar to a dual plane carb intake, but sacrifice top end performance while the LS6 provides better mid range and top end but not quite like the Victor Jr..
Please feel free to add any comments or suggestions.
