Default Truck intake manifolds

Ok so to my understanding the truck intake manifolds flow very close to an ls6. Anybody with a thirdgen with an ls1 have one on their motor? Will it clear?

AFAIK it won't clear with a thirdgen unless there is a cowl hood. There might be more info on www.thirdgen.org under the engine swap section of the forums.

they dont flow as well at upper RPM's, from what I hear.. they say they fall on their face at 5500... makes sense seeing thats how high the tach goes in our 'burb. LS6 flows better up top, clearance isnt an issue with it either..

A cowl hood is a must.

We are finding in the truck commity that the intake works good on lower displacement engines (4.8, 5.3L), or less than 350 rwhp. At 350rwhp (especialy 6.0L's) it starts to be a resriction at high rpm, hp peaking around 5500-5900 is common. It doesn't fall on its face, it just stops making power.
