One thing that sucks about modern EFI engines like the LS, LT, Mod Motors, And HEMIs is that aftermarket intake manifolds for them tend to be really expensive. It’s understandable as there is a lot of technology going on in there and the manufacturing is way different than the typical cast aluminum intake manifold. Some of these intakes cost around $600 but some are closer to $1,500. The question is whether or not they are worth it. In truth, we know they work, and work well, but whether it is worth the money or not is going to be up to you. In this test video from Richard Holdener, who has tested more LS intake manifolds than anyone on earth, he’ll show the real results of testing this hopped-up 5.3 with a stock truck intake and a FAST LSXr.
Video Description:
LOW-BUCK, CHEAP, JUNKYARD TRUCK INTAKE VS BIG BUCKS FAST LSXR! HOW MUCH POWER IS THE FAST LSXR INTAKE WORTH ON MY LS? SHOULD I BUY IT FOR MY STOCK 4.8L OR 5.3L? FAST VS TRUCK INTAKE-WHO WINS? HOW MUCH POWER IS THE INTAKE UPGRADE WORTH ON A MODIFIED LS MOTOR? HOW TO GAIN, 10 HP, 20 HP OR EVEN 30+ HP WITH AN INTAKE UPGRADE! HOW HARD IS THE FAST INTAKE TO INSTALL? CAN THE FIRST TIMER PERFORM AN INTAKE SWAP? CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO WHERE I COMPARED THE FAST LSXR INTAKE AND 102-MM THROTTLE BODY TO THE STOCK (EARLY) TRUCK INTAKE (FROM THE JUNKYARD) AND MATCHING MANUAL THROTTLE BODY. HOW MUCH POWER WAS THE FAST INTAKE UPGRADE WORTH ON THE BTR-CAMMED 5.3L L33?
