Isn't the LS3 rectangle port?

Class racers picking a certain intake is a good endorsement but the OP is far as we know sticking with catherdral port heads so it doesn't directly apply here.

It does say something about how in general "truck intakes" may not be compromised the way most cars guys assume.

My guess is the Trans Am racers are using the L92 truck intakes.

TBSS + $350 I would say you got the better end of that deal. LS6 intakes only go for $350 , why would he give you TBSS to boot ?

96, I thought you were a staunch member of the flat earth society?

Regardless, his posts on the truck intake are spot on.

There have been a good handful of track cars running the truck intake.

Curious, why was this posted here in the internal section? This is external section material.
