LS3 Intake for boost
Hi folks, I’m building a LS3 in a C5 that will be Procharged. I need to purchase an intake as I don’t have one. I know the stock one works well and is cheap so I’m leaning towards that but I’m wondering if any of the aftermarket options are worth looking into? I don’t mind spending more money if it looks good and outperforms the stock piece, only caveat is that it must fit under the stock hood. Thanks folks.

If its gotta fit under the hood your choices are simple. But I would steer you away from upgrading, the LS3 intake is very good. I personally made 900+ on my old LS3 intake.
But if you must upgrade there are some good options.
