Intake manifold for 2500hd truck
Looking to see if there's an intake that will make more power/tq than the stock truck I take at lower rpm, like under 3000.
I know with the msd one and all the new stuff that's available, and being this is going onnan2016 2500hd with a 6.0 there's room for anything the market has put pretty much, with the simple addition of a cold air intake as well...
Anything out there that will add some low end grunt that will aid in towing and daily driving in the rpm range that is typically seen?

Good thinking, but an LS9 manifold is made to fit ONLY the Eaton blowers it's made for.

A trailblazer SS intake will be a solid upgrade over the truck intake. More horsepower and torque to boot

I'm thinking edelbrock it's not cheap by no means.

It would appear that there's not going to be an intake swap that's going to accomplish what I'm looking to do at this point... truck intake was designed for the lower rpm operating range from what I've found so swapping to anything that was car intended will only make the low end weaker, or stay the same.
Unless someone has some data to disprove this, I'm going to search out other options.

You guys realize the LS9 "intake" would be the blower itself, right? Not that I want to get into a pissing match or take sides with mr troll BigHammer but come on guys, use your brains a little bit. The only "intake" with a roots blower would be the air intake, not an actual intake manifold.
To get back on subject a bit and to address the original question of the OP... You could swap to a TBSS intake but isn't the stock intake on the 2015 trucks already a 4 bolt tb? If so, you have an identical intake manifold already to the TBSS so it wouldn't benefit you at all to swap them. Your best bet would be to poke around and try and find a roots blower for it or even a procharger. Might be more than what you're looking for but it definitely wouldnt lack in the power and torque aspects any.
