Correct. Use the L92 intake and all is good. After all it is a truck intake. Futral Motorsports recently made a post here on a Tb SS L92 h/c setup that made 442 rwhp with a Yank SS3600.

I'm past the L92 heads and intake now...when the time comes i'm goin with Dart Pro 225's and a Livernois cam. Thanks for the info. And I think that stall will be a bit much for a DD.

Here is the website. Guy who runs/owns the place is named Andy, hes helpful on the phone and ships stuff quickly. The E Fan kit is plug and play and looks like it came from the factory (it should have).

What intake can you use with the Dart Pro 225's??
From the info I have you need to stay LS2 or L92 style for heads.

From what I understand I can just retain my stocker til somethin better comes along.

By the way is the stock exhaust 3"? Cause I may take some advice and just throw a Bullet or something on for now to save $$. Put it somewhere else.

3" exhaust but it necks down in spots behind the muffler. I good 3" center/offset muffler (MagnaFlow Muffler 5" x 8" 14" Body 3" C/O 12229) and some 3" pipe are needed for a muffler swap and the !resonator mod. A welder is nice too to swap over some of the hangers by the resonator.

what about the KB 2.8 blower? Some people are doing thos on TBSS. Could be an easy first purchase, along with your exhaust system. WOuld get you serious power now, and then later forged bottom end, heads, cam and fuel system...

I dont think they make a direct bolt on kit though. I was leaning more towards heads and a cam later in the summer and a STS Turbo kit next year.

Well put the LMF catback on Friday, it sounds AWESOME!!!! Cant wait to do the headers and off y-pipe next Saturday. Only thing was the catback kit didnt come with instructions, only thing I had a problem with was the clamps with welded on hangers. Some of them didnt seem to want to line up with the original hanger locations. But it all worked out and I cant keep my foot out of it!!!!! Great product for anyone interested.
