2016 Silverado intake manifold.

[a2z.rayw]

Gets guys looking for some info. I have a 2016 Silverado L83 5.3L. I have kooks headers and off road y-pipe with The MBRP dual pre-axle exhaust with MSD coils and wires and Volant air intake. I am also looking at upgrading to stage 2 cam with new heads and the MSD Air Force #2700 intake manifold and a Kaetech throttle body. Has anyone used this intake combination on the L83 and any suggestions for heads or cam.

Heads and cam you can either get the kit from texas speed. Or hit up Frankenstein engineering

I’d skip the manifold and throttle body. Stock they’ll flow plenty of air for heads and cam. I’ve only seen a couple of people run the msd manifold and most are boosted.

Could always do the l86 manifold and tb. Super cheap from pace performace

That would be better spent money. I’ve just not seen any benefit come from any of the aftermarket manifolds unless you are boosted and even then it’s high boost. There’s definitely nothing to gain on stock cubes. Think 427+ to start seeing benefits.

I agree instead of paying 1200 for the msd and likr 600 for katech tb.  Spend like 300 on L86 ones

You guys are not informed.

 

Yes the msd will do little as a stock bolt on. But if you’re cammed with other bolt ons, it’s worth atleast 30whp. It is absolutely proven it makes considerably more hp than an lt1 intake.

I’ll admit I haven’t run one but from what I’ve seen and read on several forums it hasn’t been positive on trucks or cars unless it’s big cubes or forced induction. They do work, but not for stock bolt on vehicles. Better places to spend money.

Is 20 more horsepower worth 2 grand? Nope

30, and its $1400

 

And it’s reliable NA horsepower

Manifold is about1100 and the tb is almost 700

 

Also the msd requires a pulley and cutting and extending some wires.  

 

L86 is bolt on and under 300 bucks
