I recently finished up my 68 C10 LS Swap this summer. I've drove the truck quite a bit and have enjoyed it entirely. I'm looking to do some work to the motor over the winter being I can't drive it with the snow and salt here where I live. I have the factory "truck" intake it and was wanting to go to a car intake that has a lower profile with a set of coil pack cover valve covers. What intake does everyone else recommend to run. I've seen some people use the LS3 intake and then some people say that they won't work with the idler pulley and alternator. Also on a complete separate note what cam specs do you recommend for a street driver. I dyno'ed it this year at a dyno pull at Tick and came to a touch under 500 HP. Not looking for a "beat the ground" cam but want a good choppy cam that can still be drove on the street without any problems.

Is this a typo?

I was thinking the same thing. If not, what have you done to it already since it doesnt appear to have a cam or headers on it?

Is that a Turbo over by the right pass side hood hinge??

No it's not a typo guys. All that's been done to the motor is just a lot of tuning in the computer and deleting the cats as well a cold air intake that was for a H2 that I cut down to fit where I wanted it to.

You got an extra 200hp with just a cold air intake and tuning????

Good looking truck. Building one similar but not as nice. I

Yea the guy that cut my harness down does all of my tuning for me also.I'm not 100% sure of what he changed in the parameters on the computer. All that I've done to the motor is put new Bosch plugs in with a 6 heat range, cold air and delete the ac pump where my truck wasn't an ac truck. My motor was the 5.3 flex motor that someone told me was rated at 315 which I haven't checked on. I've dynoed the truck at 2 different places and came out with roughly the same numbers within about 8 hp difference but I figured that was because of the difference in elevation between the places.

Thanks. I drive this truck everywhere and enjoy every minute of it. I'm actually about to do a cam and spring swap in it next month I believe. You have any pics of your truck in here?

"a touch" might mean 175?

Hey Rob, kind of a waste putting the LS3 with a supercharger in when you can get almost 500hp with a stock flex fuel 5.3, huh? Lol!

I've never seen a stock 5.3 put down anywhere near that. Hell my T76 5.3 on 10lbs probably barely makes that. Behind a 4l60 you would be lucky to see 300. I'm going to go ahead and say both those were very high reading dynojets.

No offense. That being said, the truck intake will outflow just about any stock intake that you can put on that 5.3. If you're going for looks, get a cheap LS6.
