i have the 80mm SSI intake and TB, before i say anything its not a bad intake/tb combo but but it has some annoying issues
1. the throttle cam on the tb is made for the 98 ls1 throttle cable so if u have a 99+ ur throttle cable will be to long and ull have to go buy one from ur local parts store for a 9& camaro or somethin, also ur cruise control will be weird after words
2. it has a nice extra vacuum port on the back, but u can use it as ur oil pressure sender is in the way, i planned on using it for my turbo vacuum lines but couldnt
3. not bad but just aware, u have to replace a valley cover bolt with a smooth allen bolt so dont forget that, also the bottom of the intake comes off with a bunch of allen bolts, remove all these and reinstall with lock tite, i had the intake on my engine for about 3-4 months did engine swap and found 5 of these bolts laying on my valley pan
all and all its a good intake could deff feel a diff with it but just making u awarenof the above
