$850 for ported, modified with egr blockoff, ac nipple added, map drilled, cable tb clearanced, holley sniper tb with sniper iac.
But we will hopefully have a better price soon going direct. we shall see.

Can use ls1 or ls2 rail with included components, but we normally set them up for ls1 rails.

You can send it in and we can port it and address the fit and finish issues. Takes about 2 weeks.

I’ve been contemplating swapping intakes for a fast but I’m not so sure I should even waste my money on it. Especially knowing I have to buy fuel rails too. My car runs exceptionally well for what I’ve got done to it and I feel like the intake has added a good bit to it.

1) I recommend buying an intake from tech@ws6store. Very highly. I was having an issue with my install and he helped me out even though I didn’t buy my intake from him. I wish I had. We emailed back and forth probably a dozen times and he always replied within 30 minutes and I didn’t even buy the intake from him. So whether he’s a few bucks higher or not (his prices on some things I looked at were cheaper than everyone else btw) I’d recommend buying from him because the communication is second to none.

Please note, you MUST CHANGE the valley cover bolts to the lower profile bolts that come with the manifold. I had been having some serious tuning issues because of a vacuum leak I had. Tech@ws6store helped me find that problem. So be aware that you need to use the lower profile bolts or it will hit the bottom of the intake keeping it from seating.


Now for the info everyone has been waiting for. This was posted on Facebook. A guy did back to back Dyno testing of the most powerful factory cathedral port intake (trailblazer ss) you can get vs the dorman ls2. Amazingly the power curves were identical. The engine was retuned for both manifolds. And I seriously doubt the dorman was even cleaned up which I guarantee it worth several hp. This was a 5.3 with a cam. Enjoy....

Here’s the video link if you guys can pull it up.

Well I thought this Richard H. was a credible legit guy . But you can throw that out the window. This test is bogus to suggest that any dorman intake let alone out of the box .Can hang with the TBSS across the board and under the curve is ludicrous . Don't believe it . What's this guy going to do next , a factory stock cylinder head test and tell us that 862 heads make more power than 243s will .

I don’t know the guy so I don’t have a dog in this fight but one wonders why he’d deliberately fudge a test like this? It does not matter to me either way. I have one on my car and I know it’s faster than the ls6 intake I had on it. I had to retune the car for more airflow when I installed it. But anyone is completely free to believe what they want to.
