I can believe that, no doubt. It's easy enough to find these intakes for sale too. I'm just asking someone who is going through it right now, weather the improvements are worth the hassle. Because in my experience, there are some modifications NOT worth doing.
I don't personally race my truck at the track, so shaving tenths here and there doesnt concern me. If its a bitch to retune and i only get a few hp, its just not worth the effort to me.

Your Sig says 5.7 LS6, that engine will benefit from the TBSS/NNBS intake swap.

Again, i know it will benefit, but I'd like to hear from someone who just did the swap, if they think the gains are worth the cost and hassle. And if they lose any driveability.

There is no drivability loss once its tuned anyway, throttle response is better... Then again im talking with experience of going from a 263k mile stock 5.3 to built 6.0 with 92mm tb....
