Default TBSS Intake ?
Would there be any benefit to running a TBSS intake manifold on my 4.8L ? The engine will be turboed with a 76mm turbo.

TBSS Intake is a 90mm 4-bolt Throttle Body, and supposed to be the best flowing Cathedral Truck Intake.

I'm guessing the 90mm would be the only difference ! I wonder how it would perform with some boost !

I am no FI expert. but being Forced .. I would not think it would make much different between the two.. Someo other Car intake might make some different...
