Who likes what intake manifold for turbos? Have a 5.3 and it came with the truck intake. Some people say its ok to use and others like the ls2 intake for the bigger throttle body. Also what about the aftermarket,. Holley tunnel, fast etc. Thanks

It here are a few people on this board running 20+psi and 8second in the 1/4 mile with stock truck intakes, LS1 intakes etc... I'm using the TBSS intake on my 6.0/S475 build shooting for 850+rwhp!

Stock 48 runs a stock 6.0 at 23lbs of boost with a stock truck intake and runs low 8's in the quarter on a daily driven Nova. I am not 100 percent sure about the specs but it's pretty close. He has proven the truck intake works great. They just look like ****. lol

Thank you everyone for your input. I like the holley but its $$$$$$. I have a ls2 one on my 6.0. This 5.3 im going to leave the stock tahoe one on. Just got to figure out what turbo to get. Any ideas for a single. Stock 5.3 for now but its going to get gone threw with all the upgrades to handle 800 to 1000hp. I heard the 76mm with .96ar will be good. Tubrnetics 76-75 or percision turbo. Cx racin or on3? Any imput
