Default Intake manifold ?'s

So I have been doing some research and I am trying to see if putting a different intake manifold on my truck is worth it. I have spent the past 4 hours searching about this.

-I would like the Fast lsxrt but lets face it, way to much.
-Holley high ram maybe? not enough info on if its worth it.
-Then the ED high ram?

I am in the process of doing a cam swap right now. I already have Long Tube headers, Tune, and CAI. The truck is a 2011 sierra 5.3l LC9 cathedral ports.

I am kinda of leaning towards the Holley High Ram, but just could not get enough info on whether or not its a good choice.

I am also trying to find out if i can use my stock truck injectors with this? I know I have to use the different fuel rails.

Any of you guys have a suggestion?

If you spend most of your time below 5k the stick with the truck intake manifold. You can also have it ported, which it will nicely benefit from.

Is my truck manifold useful to any one else. Would any one buy it?

IMO, sounds like it's still useful for you.
The FAST LSXRT intake manifold is the only choice that won't loose any lower rpm HP/TQ compared to your truck intake manifold. That why I recommended just sticking with the stock intake, and maybe having it ported.

Oh ok. That's what I am looking for. lol. Just some positive feedback. Porting that manifold is still like 425$ that's crazy.

They do also offer basic porting which is $250, but whether you port it or not I'd stick with the truck intake manifold.
