nicolaswaldron Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 (edited) First off, what is the difference, if any one knows, the difference between ls1,ls2, and ls3 corvette intake manifolds? Also, i read that an ls1 will fit a 6.0 silvy, so is that what the corvette and tbss have or are they two different manifolds? And is this a mod worth the time and money? and if it is, which one, if they are different is a better idea?

LS6 outflows LS1, I think the LS2 is pretty much the same as LS6, flow wise. Your 6.0L intake flows almost identical to the LS6 so none of those would be worth it. Another problem with these is they are pretty short and you have to use a car waterpump. Its not the easiest swap to do. TBSS is a tall LS2 intake, but only slightly different from the 6.0L intake. Minimal gains. LS3 intake is a short intake that will only work with the L92 heads. L92 intake is a tall version of the LS3 for trucks.

nicolaswaldron Posted November 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Thanks thats awesome to know. I think im gonna do tbss upgrade if thats what u wanna call it. I was also wondering what tranny the tbss has. Is there any difference between them and if they are different, which one is better? I wanna do a corvette servo and a shift kit. After my turbo kit and the tranny upgrades, the whp and the hp at the transfercase might be too much so i might need and upgrade and was wondering if a tbss tranny was any better? Thanks yall for your info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mean05 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 i found it to be a worth while gain...i picked up the intake for cheap...you can see the difference in the 6.0 intake and the tbss intake in my thread...between that and PnP 317 heads i picked up 57rwhp...i cant say what the heads did or what the intake did because i did them at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
