    Question 5.3 vs 6.0 intake manifold?

    Is there a difference between the Vortec manifolds on 4.8, 5.3, 6.0, etc..? Or. Are all Vortec manifolds the same?

    there is no difference what so ever in the way they flow from 99-07...later models 07-current have a 90mm tb and flow a lot better

    OK, thats what I was looking for. I just didn't know if the 6.0l flowed better than say the 5.3l.

    mean05: You sayin there may be some potential increase in HP/TQ by swaaping to a 07+?

    Thanks for the quick replies

    Will the 99-03 return style fuel rail fit on the 07+ 5.3L intake?

    There is potential, but it is going to be minimal. I would rather spend my time and money on a FAST setup...

    I wouldn't think so. I am not sure if anyone has tried to do that type of swap, but it may be possible.

    i got port and polished stock heads, and switched to the TBSS 90mm intake and shaved over a half second on my 1/4 mile times, on motor. maybe that'll help with your decision.

    the work done to the heads gave you the most of that gain
    2002 Lightning - GT headed 5.5Litre w/ Twin 7665s
    2002 Silverado - 427Lsx w/ Twin gt4202s
    2010 Silverado crewcab Z71 - 5.3litre w/ procharger
    2000 Wrangler - 5.3litre with some stance
    2014 Xsport- 3.5 Eco boost
    412 Motorsports

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    there is a small gain...some have said in the 10rwhp gain, i did the swap on my stock 6.0 and if i were to do it again i'd just go with a car intake...looks some much cleaner
    2006 silverado SS....Clifford Jr...turbo coming soon
    1970 Chevelle ly6 swap....d1 coming soon

    Did you use your stock fuel rail or have to use one that came with the intake?
    If your 05-rail worked the 99-03 rail should fit too.
