Damn dude, u got that right!!! She is one SICK ride! I just wish i had a place around where i live that could do something like that... I'd probably have to go to like Pittsburgh to do something like that which is 2hrs away lol.

on stock motor, it isnt gonna give you hardly any gains. if you were big cube (408+) or fi you would see big gains from that. not worth the cost imo.

im running a tbss intake/tb on mine and saw about a 15hp/15lbtq at the rear wheels with no other changes on my 6.0, its a cheap upgrade, but i helps.

100% stock 5.3 saw 25 hp to the wheel difference...there's a post somewhere on it....and the FAST intakes aren't really worth it if you're trying to stay mild...but on somethin that'll run stupid quick #'s i would say maybe

RED is right about the cubes, or at the very least a set of free flowing heads.
Also, if what I've read is accurate, the LSX-R is for the cars, and the LSX-RT is for trucks.

not necessarily the RT is just for cathedral port heads i believe....i think the initial design was that way due to cowl clearance issues

youll get large rpm spikes when you step on the gas while already rollling, without tire spin.

i tought the rt was meant for trucks and you had to order the port that would fit your setup. cuz if im not badly fooled the r is the 102mm car intake. if you try to run the car intake youll have to change all the accessories on the front of the motor.

i was wrong, lol. see below

i'm pretty sure they're both 102mm...i mean really they're both amazing intake manifolds...i'm honestly only convinced you might truly need them for proper flow when you start hitting huge #'s between 900 - 1500 before nitrous

So if u get the rt then u dont need to change any of ur setup, like the water pump for example??? I understand u would probably have to buy the 102mm throttle body tho or else the 90mm...
