Truck style intake on LS1? Hs anyone tried it? THey are a bt taller... dont knwo if they are the same general design as that would make the runner even longer...
Re: Truck style intake on LS1? The truck intakes are gemerally about 3"-3.5" taller than the LS1/6 intake. Trimming the drip rail may help; but I am afraid you would need to modify the actual cowl sheetmetal. That would mean modifying the windshield to fit also.
It might not need all of that; but that is what I think will happen.

Re: Truck style intake on LS1? I've done no dyno testing on it or anything, but just looking at the design of the truck intake reminds me a little of the early TPI intakes (85-92). The tuned, long runner design will tend to boost low rpm torque at the expense of high rpm power. With a stock cam it might put out some GREAT torque numbers and pull like a banshee thru the midrange, but as you add cam duration and need rpm to take advantage of it, I think the truck manifold would start to hurt your power output.
Might be fun to play with if you can get some decent sized injectors for it. The flow rate of the stock injectors leaves a little to be desired! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
This is all based solely on "looking" at it.

Re: Truck style intake on LS1? The "word" is that it is a far better intake for the LS-1, but it wouldn't fit the F-body or Vette so we got a "compromise" intake.
That comes from GMHTP if I remember correctly...
I would love to see someone try to fit it.
