What I've read the LS3 intake from the factory is already very good. I think most guys just leave their LS3 intaketake alone or send it off to have it ported

the the stock manifold and TB and put a stage 3 blower cam instead there seems to be a small trend lately with NA cars running a blower cam with their higher LSA which is easier for the tuners to make better drivability

A ported LS3 intake manifold with the Rod mod should pick up 10-15rwhp. I made 512 (mustang dyno) with the BTR stg 3 cam and ported heads with modded intake.
