There is such a thing as a good looking LSXRT intake!!
There is such a thing as a good looking LSXRT intake!! Guys,
Always thought these "truck" intakes were pretty hideous looking (with the cover on at least.....very sexy with the cover off!)
Anyway.....ported this unit recently for a customer who opted to have me paint it my signature color scheme. The black color reduces its massive look of a slab of drab-azz gray and the lettering helps make it pop a bit adding to the overall look.
For the guys that haven't seen one of these with the lid removed you might be surprised.....its the equivalent of a composite cross ram and its design is extremely effective.....the big shame is it doesn't fit mot passenger cars without seriously hacking up your firewall and running a large cowl hood.
Cool stuff....

Has anyone done a back to back test with this against the car intakes?
Just curious because I do have room to run one...and I suspect unlike the Edelbrock which loses a bunch down low this should outperform throughout the curve...just not sure if it's enough to justify switching.

This might be something I should consider in the future. Used market for 90mm Fasts is pretty soft though...
Does the stock truck intake fuel rail work? Would my Bosch ls1 style 42# injectors work? (I seem to remember trucks using a different style injector)

Verdad Gallardo While the gains are large, the difference in aesthetics for my taste is far too great unless it was truly a race car and the look fit the bill.
For a classic "Hot Rod" with an open engine bay or truck build that easily swallows it and I would be all over this intake.....like I said its a composite cross ram with runners long enough to make good torque and still have a big high RPM charge.

It is an ugly SOB compare to the car Fast intakes (also painted black of course...IMO the gray looks like **** period), but if the gains really are that huge I could probably get over it.
Well it'll fit in a GTO, but definitely not with a stock hood!
I would think it would also fit in a Gen 5 Camaro.

How would the RT fare at say, 7-7200 RPM. I know the longer runner is great for low and midrange. Just curious how it would work with a larger, say 236/240 cam and shifting around 7-7200
