Suburban 6.0 LQ4 Intake I just picked up a 3/4 ton suburban that is my daily driver and has been for a month. This will also be a long term project truck that I would like to eventually have pushing a ton of power (speed and tow), and non daily driver in 2-3 years. So trying to make every upgrade count. I know a cam/tune are on the list, so are 1 7/8 headers from speed engineering. The only question is intake!
1. TBSS - works great, under $300, looks like something a cavalier should use
2. LSXRT - the best performance, pricey, looks aftermarket and kinda cheesy
3. Summit Fabricated Intake - no low end all top end, remarkably cheap, looks like pure racing gear.
I'm leaning towards this one: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/s...make/chevrolet
It is future proof, will hurt low end daily driving a bit, but hell! 102 MM all the way through including throttle body and fuel rails for $550? Only issue is I have yet to find a review of it after 2 days of searching?
Your thoughts? Besides it's made in China!

Forget about that manifold if you want to tow or want to have ANY low end. Believe it or not, your best bet is getting your heads ported and a good truck cam.
Your intake won't hold you back for what this engine can do. Looks don't get you up the hill, and when the hood is shut(which it is 99% of the time)it does not matter.
Keep in mind this is a 3/4 ton Suburban. Low end and mid-range is where it's at here. You want a race truck get a 1/2 ton pickup.

Your 3 bolt intake, even though its considered the worst truck intake, is not that bad. The BIGGEST thing holding the top end back in exhaust manifolds. Put a set of longtubes and a tune on the truck and its like a light switch at 3500rpms, motor lights up! Makes moving a trailer a lot easier.
