Nice... That's gonna make your day lol. Are you doing the install yourself or taking it to a shop? How do you like the sound of that intake? It was a pretty change on my 6.2L.

Blower I could do it my self but since most likely will go with valve train I will have my friend mechanic help me out, don't feel like doing it twice. I love the intake it gives a nice deep sound to the engine, and you know if I can hear it inside the truck over my loud ass tires it must be loud too.

Enjoy it lol, when you get those headers and Y pipe on you won't hear it so much... The Kooks and magnaflow combo sounds amazing.

Post some pics of install process too. I’m curious if the TVS is any easier than the Whipple I installed on mine. FYI I was hesitant on doing the valve train myself but it wasn’t too bad. The dual springs were a bit tricky but that’s about it.

you know I am still on the fence with that, since its not my DD I don't mind if it takes me bit longer.

I guess it's a time to research transmissions as well, is gearstar any good?
4L65E is for Tahoe?
