I vote 90mm TBSS truck intake!

Larger 90mm TB and bolt's on in place of the truck intake no need to mod the accessory drive.

I`m going with the truck intake on the turbo car that I`ve been putting together....for the last year. My thoughts are that it fits, makes more torque down low, and if I need more power up top thats what the boost control is for.

Looks and airflow are to different things. They flow pretty much the same.

The TBSS/Gen IV 4.8/5.3L intake I mentioned flows as well as the LS6 intake.

There is flow data on the truck site.

Nice Data!!! I am not looking to crazy with the HP... I want to make about 450-550 hp with bone stock engine and no intercooler. Thats what the BBC made. I do want it to look as nice as I can make it on a budget. I bought these coil covers from Ebay that look like fabbed BBC valve covers but they don't fit in the car. Too close to the firewall, even though my engine seems to sit further forward than most. then when I put the turbos on the wastegates will interfear also. So that was a waste if $129+shipping. So, to make a long story short, I think the car intake will make the swap more aesthetically pleasing than the truck intake. OMG!!! I am so confused now!!! I don't know what to do!!!! ROFLMMFAO
