So better bottom to mid as I personally hate how this thing is a slug under 2500 rpms.particularly in NJ traffic b/c that's where the motor spends most of it's time. In other words, smaller budget, less down time to perform mod, relatively basic tools and skills needed, and most importantly. The objective is to keep overall performance in the philosophical realm of the daily driver.

Obviously the insides will be cleaned up as smooth as possible and extra neck material will hopefully be incorporated around the neck so you can hog it about 10mm over if you need a plus size TB. Off hand I can pretty much make this clear, the design will be a raise, hence tall runners, intake with a nice straight shot intake feed so the ls2 tbs can be used and it will clear the truck specific accessories. A) has anyone taken apart a TBSS intake and B) who has suggestions or input for design changes? If we can accomplish this we will look into making performance high temp polymer intakes (see above bennies) for these niche engines.cuz it pisses me off when GM gives certain cars the sizzle without the steak!:asshole: So, I have an LS4 and an extra TBSS intakes with the assumption all of our intakes are using this half-ass sonic welding technique which my guys can hopefully cleanly disassemble for evaluation.

However, while researching it turns out GM designed a serious bottleneck on the LS4 (5.3L FWD) engine intake as well, making any other mods a real waste of money. A 80mm TB is in the early stages for testing on the GTO, so natch.I turned my attention to the TBSS. Having a LS1 GTO and TBSS generally means these will always be the first experimental guinea pigs. And we maybe able to color them in the plastic. In a nutshell the benefits are lightweight, thermal blocking properties, and port/polished surfaces (inside and out) right out of the mold.with some extra material for those who want to experiment. Now assuming I am correct, I ask because I am cautiously optimistic that the TBSS valance project is all but done and am now working on high-temp polymer throttle bodies. Therefore, for the beginning or budget minded modder, the only real option is tune, maybe CAI, and possibly cat-back. Which, in addition to the TBSS throttle body opening opposite of the LS2/LS7, essentially makes any TB swap/mods pointless.modest P&P gain aside. In nutshell.we have no options unless we're willing and prepared to make other mods. I also heard putting a check valve between the top of the manifold and the OUT to reduce the amount of vacuum being pulled by the manifold, which is a lot by the way.Let me see if I have this straight.

Right now what i plan to do is keep the first set up, with both the passenger and drivers side hooked up to a T fitting and into the IN side of catch can, Installing a bad ass Billet Breather filler cap from JEGS and hope it lets by enough clean air to reduce the vacuum, while still maintaining enough vacuum to keep it from smoking. This fixes the vacuum in the crank case and oil filler cap, but BLUE smoke comes out at IDLE non stop. The DRIVERS side goes into the 'IN' side of my catch can and the 'OUT' to the top of the manifold. So now i have a barb that sticks out of my intake tube, with a line that goes into my PASSENGER side valve cover. The second way i tried was to drill a hole in my intake tube to get fresh filtered air into the PASSENGER valve cover. I knew this, so I tried another way of setting up the catch can and to no avail. Now i know what youre thinking, of course dumb ass, there is no place for PCV to be getting fresh air.

I have BOTH the passenger side, and Driver side valve covers, hooked up to a T fitting that goes into the 'IN' side of my catch can and the 'OUT' to the top of the manifold. it has 5k miles on it at the moment.ДЄlright so I know i have it set up wrong. If i take it off while on it will idle funny and start to smoke blue(oil getting by) The engine is freshly rebuilt so i highly doubt its the piston rings, it was broken in properly i made sure of it lol. Not only that but my Oil Filler cap is under vacuum, it is hard to pull off when the truck is on. I noticed that it was catching a shit ton of oil. The problem I'm having is that my friends and I seemed to have installed the PCV for this manifold wrong or something.

Also has a cam, milled 243 heads and full bolt ons, and a ported LS2 DBW throttle body. It is an LQ4 as stated with the TBSS manifold swap. Hello everyone, newbie here, I'm hoping some of you could help me out with this situation I'm having with my truck.
