L83 Manifold Swap

[Bohanan23]

Who all has swapped over to the L86 intake manifold and throttle body on their L83? Going to start ordering my parts soon and just curious on the upgrades. GPI claimed 9/6 RWHP/TQ stock and close to 20/15 RWHP/TQ to tire on a ported intake. My truck now has long tubes, y pipe, 3.5" exhaust and tune. I might do a minor port job on the intake. Considering the S&B CAI also but I'm not sold on one yet.

I've got a cold air inductions intake for sale

[Bohanan23]

Not in the market quite yet.. But what's your price?

[CombsL83]

I’d do $300 shipped. It’s listed in the marketplace. Have had other interest so it might move here soon.

[Bohanan23]

I will have to pass. Looking at the Volant or S&B

I did the l86 manifold and throttle body.  Hardest part was getting the dang vanity cover off of the stock manifold.

[Bohanan23]

Yeah that's what I noticed. How is the upgrade? Need to get out to the track first then going to upgrade and see how it does

[Centex14]

Throttle response was better but that's all I really noticed. I didn't get my custom tune until after the headers so hard to tell a difference.

Hey centex14, I just realized you're Bgbldodge over on PT! I forgot to ask how the swap is going! I'm still deciding between that or just going with a CAI and save up for a stall converter since it'll benefit better from the stall. But, the throttle response and possible power increase in lower RPM's is tempting
