Well decided to post up a little info for the guys who have the NBS trucks and want to go with a NNBS intake but don't have the extra cash for the X-Link or for a NNBS 4 bolt TB. There is a cheap alternative tho won't give you the same gains but for the mean time will work great. I recently bought a FAST adapter plate ($50 and made for the FAST 102 LSX RT) to see if it will work on my old NNBS intake. Reason for this is because my little bro has a 02 silvy and wanted it but didnt have any extra cash for a new 90mm tb. Well it fits and works great and thought I would post pics and just let you guys know. Idk if doing this intake swap and not going with the bigger tb will gain you any hp but at least you can get the intake or any other 90mm+ installed and just get the tb later. Again this might be useless info but just thought I would share.

Is it ok to use you stock tb with it or is it a lot better to use an upgraded tb? How much power can you gain from it? My trucks not modded too much will it make much of a difference if I only have a tune, cai, upgraded spark plugs and wires, shift kit and servos, aftermarket muffler?
Yeah of coarse its better to upgrade but if you dont have $500+ at the time to upgrade to a nice bigger tb then this adapter plate is the next best thing and its only like $50-$60 for this plate. As far as gains in between the 2 idk im sure you will have better gains with a 102 tb vs a stock 78 but idk if you would be able to "feel" the dif. I guess it all depends on your setup. Like mine for example being boosted I really didnt feel any gains but then again I upted the boost the same time I did the install. I really put the intake in just for looks lol my factory intake is fugly. Honestly this intake should prob be one of the last mods to do unless your doing it for visual appeal like i did. I mean get your headers, exhaust, tune, and other upgrades first, and I say this because of the price of this thing and the minimal gain it nets you. Like its a great intake dont get me wrong prob good for at least 15-20hp but get your bolt ons first to get the most out of it.

here is a link you can buy them brand new for $890 shipped . http://atlanticspeed...1&idcategory=40
good intake and i would love to take this off your hands but not at the price you want thou. let me know if you will go lower. and i would just want the intake . what is this adapter plate your talking about?
No problem man, the adapter plate is for if your gonna use your factory 3 bolt 78mm throttle body.
Here are some pics of the plate when I put my factory nnbs intake on my buddies 06 Silverado and used his factory 78 TB

NIce and shiny! lol looks good man

what kinda of setup are you going to use with that intake? Its a much better choice then my victor jr, because the runners are a little longer, but I still think its going to kill your low end torque, and raise your shift points. The short runner intake on my truck dyno'd like 30 more HP, ish, but raised my peak and killed the bottom end. Plus you wouldn't believe how much heat the aluminium intakes hold. Even in cold air the damn thing just will not cool down. But they do make HP up top
WIll it clear your hood?
edit, just read your sig. I don't think the turbo is going to care much. Have you done any testing with short runner intakes and long runner intakes using boost?
Well my truck has a KB Racing turbo system on it so the intake will work great. A guy on pt.net is using the same intake on his build so I know it will fit. It prob will heat soak a little but shouldnt be too bad because I spray meth.
Here are some pics of the guy on pt.net who is using the same intake on his build... (NOT MY TRUCK)

Ok, i have to ask. Why wouldn't you run it, exact reasons? It's a very good fit on the truck motors so we don't have to mess with the idler pulley, it makes pretty good HP in stock form, it can be ported pretty good(however not as good as the lsx102), it helps produce a large and flat torque curve, it allows you to run a 102mm tb....My buddy has one feeding his 427 lq9 and it made like 517 RWHP and just under 500 torque.....with a choked up 1.75 header and small 225 head. What other choice are you looking at for what combo?
Well main and only reason is because it doesn't fit. My 6.2 long block has square port ls3 heads and the FAST and my 5.3 have cathedral ports. I know its a good intake its why i spent over $1000 for it, I just didn't know I was gonna be swapping out to a 6.2 or the square port heads so soon.
I have this intake coming in now for my new motor so guess the FAST is gonna go back in the box and sit in the corner of my room lol
-
Lol yeah true I paid a little over $1000 just for the intake I would think at least $850-$900 but honostly i feel like the THIS intake is like a new truck it depreciates when you slide the card lol. I think it would be hard to sell it at that price but I dont want to lose out either... I mean it's brand new you guys think I should just keep it and put it on some other project?
-
Alright guys well I just recently bought a FAST LSX RT intake for my 2011 and only had it on my truck for a few dyno runs and maybe 50 miles before I messed up my 5.3 (My own fault lol) Anyways I got my little hands on a nice 6.2 long block and have no use for this intake anymore. I was going to put it on my little bros 02 truck so I ordered the adapter plate but dont think im going to put it on after all. What do you guys think this little combo is worth?
-
Looks really good man I was debating about 22s or 24s when i do my 4/6 drop later on down the road. Def going with 24s any rubbing?
-
Should be badass when done I have seen a few fully done Ss clones down in Edinburg/McAllen. Good luck! This is one of my favorite Ss clones...
-
Mine is pretty much the same thing just 20s and special badging. My dash has the Texas Edition badge too.
-
This was the only one I could find on google... The one I saw had the 20s this one I guess because it's a z71 just looks like all the other z71s but with Alaskan barges.
-
Lol honostly it looked just like a vho Sierra has the same wheels at least . I didn't see the inside or anything but was prob just a 5.3 truck with wheels and badging.
-
Well living here in Alaska we don't see all the special editions lol.
Yeah true lol. Hey but believe it or not awhile back I saw a Alaskan edition Sierra here in when I was driving around but was the 03-07 body style.
-
Man that truck is REALLY nice, i've never heard of a Texas edition Sierra, thats awesome!
Thanks and really?? Texas edition Silverados/Sierras trucks are everywhere here in South Texas lol
-
wow thats pretty impresive. i hope u update this thread alot like a build thread. should be fun to follow all your upgrades
Thanks def will keep everyone updated... I have alot more pics to upload so as soon as I get home I'll upload them.
-
Nice truck. Damn looks like I need to move to texas so I can make bank lol. You on a drilling rig? I'm on a production double out here in Cali.
Thanks man lol and nah I'm out here in the field on the Fracturing side of the business. I work for C&J Energy Services.
-
Thanks and yes sir turbo system is going on the 6.2. Everythig is transferring over except my FAST intake which sucks because I just bought it and prob have less then 300 miles on it. Oh well I'm lookin at the new holley high ram l92 intake anyways. I have already been in contact with Pat G about getting a custom turbo cam for it, and planning on doing some other mods. Nothing crazy though as I already want to start saving for my built motor. But should be plenty fun turbo 6.2 has such a nice sound to it lol. When it's finished I'll de post up some pics and more videos...

Thanks money has been pretty good lately out here in the oil field

Well guys been a long time since I been on and checked in. A lot of things have changed with my truck and setup. Well to start off I bought a new 2011 GMC Sierra Ext Cab 4x4 with the 5.3 and 6l80. You can say I pretty much jumped into it with mods as the very first day it went to the exhaust shop for a factory exhaust swap and cutout. I went with a factory Sierra Denali 6.2 catback reason be its all stainless full 3.5 inch flows good but still is really quiet. I put in a 3.5 inch stainless QTP cutout before the muffler to open it up when the truck goes to the track and for weekend cruising. Oh I even went ahead and polished the exhaust tip before it went on the truck (I bought it and had it in my garage before I bought the truck).
About a week after the exhaust work I put in a little drop in K&N filter and got the truck tuned. These trucks from the factory are such dogs but really open up to custom tunes which alot of you already know but wow night and day difference. A guy local here in Corpus tuned it for me with HP Tuners. Drove the truck around for about a month like this but quickly got bored with it especially since a few of my friends have some nice 11 sec trucks. Soooo went ahead and ordered me a complete Nitrous outlet 90mm plate system with a 10lb bottle and 100 shot pills. Truck felt amazing launching out in 4 hi on a 100 shot right out the whole! All my previous trucks have been 2wd so this time with my truck being 4x4 thought I would take advantage of all the added traction lol. Got around to putting it on a buddies dyno, with the 100 shot pills in TR6 plugs and a retune for the nitrous ended up putting down 407hp 428tq. Not to bad I guess for a little 5.3. Bigger plans to come...
Kept the truck like this for a few months and then called up my buddy Kyle (KBRacing) to see about getting a nice turbo kit made for the truck. I loved the hit of the nitrous but got tired of filling the bottle and running out early in the night at local car meets lol. Well anyways after talking with Kyle I went ahead and put in an order for one of his stainless front mount kits with a new Magnum T72 water cooled ball bearing turbo. Drove up to Houston about a month later and picked up the kit myself because I was so excited to finally go turbo lol I didnt want to wait any longer. Like all of Kyles kits fit and finish was perfect install could not have went easier and the quality is top notch guy really knows his stuff! With the turbo kit on last thing was to get the cold side done. This was a bit tricky because no one makes a cold side intercooler kit for the nnbs trucks or at least were I wanted it behind the grille. I went with a House Of Boost 31x12x4 intercooler with 3 inch inlet/outlets. Really wasnt hard at all to get everything to fit. All I really did was remove the center grille support bracket (grille is still very sturdy) and trim off the 2 grille clips to keep them from hitting the intercooler. Intercooler fit perfect behind the big GMC grille and looks killer when you walk up to the truck and notice it. As for the piping my buddy Rowdy made some pretty nice mandrel bent pipes for me and came out pretty trick. He made it to were there are only 2 cold side pipes to keep the couplers down and the possibility of blowing any off. What I like the most about them is how he made the MAF into one of the pipes and how he mounted the blow off valve right after the intercooler and behind the grille. Def props to him. While I was waiting on the turbo kit to be finished I went ahead and ordered some other little support mods to keep things safe. First off ordered a set of FAST precison flow 52 lb injectors. Ended up ordering the wrong ones I ordered the short LS3s but instead of waiting to return them and going through all the headaches I just had some FAST adapters over nighted. Second Third and Fourth got in my Aeromotive 340 fuel pump, MTI "Hot Spark" wires, and Snow Performance stage 1 meth kit. With everything installed tuned and ready to go, put the truck on the rollers again just to see were it was at...
Truck was setup at the time at 7lbs, meth and a pretty safe tune. Was having some problems tho as the dyno wasnt a load based dyno so had a lot of trouble to get the truck to boost more then 4-5lbs. Hitting such low boost didnt activate the meth so run wasnt so great. Truck ended up putting down 409hp but 489tq. Oh well more power to come...
Well shortly after that I got in my LSX RT intake and some little things but the intake being the biggest thing. Oh and upped the boost to 12 lbs which just feels nuts in 4 hi, truck gets out the hole hard and just keeps you planted in the seat. Truck has really come a long way in a short time but still has alot to go...
As of now the truck is sitting at my buddies shop waiting for a little engine swap. I got my hands on a super nice super low mile 6.2 long block for a really good price that will be in in a couple days so hopfully ill have the truck back by this coming up weekend and see what the new motor can do. Im pretty excited I really wanted a 6.2 truck from the get go but just couldnt find any at the time and anyways since I was planning on swapping the motor I just went with the next best thing. This motor swap wont be the last hopefully if everything goes as planned by the begining of next year ill have a fully built Virginia Speed 416 in and finally meet my 1000 hp goal. I know I still have a lot to go before I can be or even support that power level but so far so good. Ill keep you guys posted.
