Fast Intakes on an LS3

[Tattooboy]

Are they worth the money?

Are they miles better than the stock one or only maginally?

Please discuss

Thanks for the replies so far, I was possibly looking at getting one when I hopefully get a BIG Cam put in the GTS, but by the sounds of it, I don't need to bother !

It will be kept N/A.

Thanks

Keep the stock ls3 intake and concentrate on a proper exhaust and cold air.
They will deliver much more than the fast will.

Well it's now got the WP headers and sports cats, 3" exhaust and the WP OTR intake so hopefully that should cover those.

Sounds like just a Cam to go on then and a decent map.

Car is going on the RR Day coming up so that will set the bench mark for what the Cam adds. Hopefully Mr Tax Man is paying for most of that as I've put a tax rebate in for my pension contributions

Yep, thats a good start. Check filter area on the OTR. At WOT you want zero difference atmospheric to manifold otherwise its robbing power.
My OTR stole 50rwhp! Hence why its now sitting in the garage..

Now the fun.. What spec cam are you looking at? Max high RPM, or raise torque overall, or just at low RPM etc?

Torque peak will always be at around 4400 with the LS3 intake, but you can bend and stretch it with valve timing etc

Cam spec........haven't got a clue, will need to rely on people that have done this before.

Will have a word with WP when the time is right, I'm not fussed on issues with it being a daily driver, as it's not, it's a weekend toy, so I'm looking bigger than the normal fitted, hopefully the Aussies will have a few ideas.
