That looks super clean. If I ever do that swap, that's how it will be done

Maybe 15-20 over a older truck intake? Not really sure, My 02 im using this intake on is boosted and I got this intake in a swap for the stock little alternator that I swapped out with a 145 amp one so basically free. Heard they do offer gains so win win for me.

This is how I'm going to run it. I used return style flex-fuel rails with injector spacers and everything clears fine. Injectors are marine 8.1L (stock height). I made little adapters to bolt the rails to the intake but pretty straight forward.

Used a set of the Holley rails, Magnafuel boost referenced regulator and -6 lines. This truck will be turbo but won't see but maybe 750 so -6 works fine for my setup. can always go bigger being the rails are -8. I ran my fuel lines to where they just plug right into the factory feed and return lines. Today the correct length spacers should come in and the last few pieces to the intake tomorrow so will hopefully have it installed soon.










What's the part number on rails and spacers?

551371 Is the part number Summit Racing has for the spacers but that’s for factory length truck injectors, 551348 would be better for the shorter car injectors. The Holley rails part number is 534-209

I have a set of these in the shop. Are the 8.1 injectors the same height as the 5.3 injectors?

I hate to hyjack your thread, but this made me REALLY want to know something.

EDIT: QUESTION ANSWERED IN "NEW MEMBERS"

so new question
Can somebody identify these intakes for me and is one better than the others?
Looks like the second from the left is best to me!

Any NNBS 4 bolt is better than the old 3 bolt,
they come in Sq or Cat ports. they have
87 mm T/B's and will fit a LS3 90mm T/B.
The tall ugly one is usually the best on big
heavy trucks.
