I already have a LS3 intake manifold, I definitely don't have money for a sheet metal intake. I was just wondering if the GMPP EFI L92 single plane intake was a worth while bolt on onto a LS2 bottom end, LS3 top end, large cam, 1 7/8"x2" stepped headers?
I want around 500 rwhp. Is it worth it to get that intake?

I have it with a 4150 tb and like it alot. Makes 514 rwhp.

Can you share the rest of the specs of your set up?
Wouldn't happen to have a dynograph would you?

forged 376ci, torquer 7 cam, 1.8 RAR, 1 7/8 LT and cnc ls3 heads milled .030. Dont have a graph handy but it made powa at 4100-7200 and doesnt like any more than 26* at WOT. I remember it making 62x fwhp 596 ftlbs on a motec.

You have a lot more into your build than I will have. I'm going to be using stock, untouched LS3 heads on a stock LS2 bottom end, 1 7/8" x 2" header. I'm going to get a custom cam designed for the final build specs.
I might just stick with the LS3 intake and the 90mm TB that I already have. I've seen a similar build to what I am building make 460/446. I guess I would be happy with that.
I am mainly trying to figure out what I would have to do to make 500rwhp without giving up too much low end torque and without thousands of dollars extra.

thats a strong engine for sure.

good luck on your build, I am in process of doing the ls3 heads and cam on an ls2 bottom end, I have the lsxr intake though
