I have a Trans Am, and want to run a shaker on the motor. I have to either mount an air box over the motor, or do this.



How would running a intake like that and throttle body on top of it effect the performance verses like an LS6 intake?

Also, what Throttle body could I use with it?
Thanks.

Looks like a carb style set-up. Plenty of info out there and will be superior to the ls6.....cool points will be off the charts too. Check the hybrid section or do a search, something will come up.

It's not a Carb.

....carb style. Not an actual carb. An 6le makes an adapter to run the shaker with a stock throttle body

6LE?

I still want to run coils, injectors exactly like a stock LS1.

I would even want to keep the stock TB if I can. I don't want to sacrifice performance or Gas mileage.

By the way, this is a 1979 Trans Am

Just found it, not really what I am looking for, but thank you!

Anyway, I found it on mast. They said they used an 87mm truck TB. The kit without the TB and intake is $250. Is that TB what I need for an LS1?

Got this back...

"Mounting it vertically will have no effect on it. We use the truck 87mm because of the drive by wire motor on the throttle body provides more clearance for the air filter. The single plane intake will make more peak power but less power across the useable rpm range like street driving. It will not work with cable driven throttle bodies with serious modification as it was not designed for them. It also is designed for Speed Density systems(no mass air). "

Problem for me, I want a drive by cable, and MAF

Would a 4 barrel TB work with all the factory injectors, coils, rails, wiring, computer?

Yup, but you would need a tune to go to SD, because the MAF wont fit, or work

shank0668

If I end up with a cam i will need to do a tune. I just want it to run like a stock LS1, and not sacrifice anything.

Does a speed density tune cost more?

Another question, will the stock ls1 injectors and fuel rails mount on the GMPP 4 barrel intake?

The stock injectors will work, but you would need to get new fuel rails to go with the carb style intake...........

I have not seen a vertical setup that didn't require you to
hack the cowl sheet metal. Do the adaptors let you do that?
