5.3 Intake Conversion to an LSX FAST Intake First of all I would like to let everyone know that putting a FAST LSX Intake on the 5.3 is not as simple as most people put it. First there was the clearance problem with the idler pulley being in the way. To solve that, I ended up coverting the accessory drive to a camaro setup. Then the fuel rail off of the 5.3 was too tall. To fix that I got a camaro fuel rail. Now the only problem that remains on the fuel portion is the 5.3 fuel injectors are too short. I was planning on getting a set via camaro application. My question is whether or not getting a set of FAST injectors would be acceptable. If so what lbs/hr? I know that the stock set was either a 24lb or 26lb, but the truck has a moderate cam (222/224 duration at 050), and i don't want to starve it, so should i go higher lb?
I think stock 02 LS1 was something like 28.8lbs IIRC.
Oh and there are various write-ups on how to convert the 4.8, 5.3, 6.0 to the LS1(6) intake WITHOUT converting to the F-Body Accessory Drive.
