Default TBSS W/LS3 Intake Man. L92 Heads etc .

Thought I would share some pics with you guy's ...I know there has not been alot of info out there on what it would take to do a complete LS3 Intake Manifold and LS3 Heads (L92's) swap over onto a Tbss ....If anyone is interested in doing this Modification ...Please pm me ... My buddy that did all the work on this with me is considering making a kit for this swap ....Once he gives me the complete write up ...I will post this and share it with you.

Here are some pics , just a few ....I have a plenum cover and coil covers coming in the next 2 weeks from my buddy .... I think that will help to compliment the engine bay .....

The CAI was something that I had laying around and it is working OK for now ...We are going to do some R&D on a new CAI which is on the same basic line as the C6 Intake ....or something similar ... I will get pics up in the next 2 weeks when we are done with it .....

I will be at the track within the next 2 weeks and i will let you know how she does. According to my dashhawk 1/4 mile times with be in the 12.00 to 12.15. It feels incredible , it launches waqy harder than it did even with the magnuson supercharger on it .

It feels incredible , it launches way harder than it did even with the magnuson supercharger on it . Only needed to move 1 pulley over about 2" , took about 30 minutes to do that and the water pump outlet needed to point in the exact opposite direction which was just cutting the neck of the tube off and rewelding it back on ....I am very happy I did it .

the talled the intake supposedly the "better" tq for the low end. the shorter runners make gains on the top end.

if i was to do it...id p&p your stock intake and tb then go from there...if its not enough upgrade to a 102mm
