intake manifold

Hey Anyone,

I have a stock 5.3l LM7 engine and want to change the intake manifold. Would one from the LQ4 version make the compression better or worse?

thanks

Tim

Re: intake manifold

as far as which is better, I'm not sure, but i will tell you that your intake won't change your compression. I'd check out the engine swap forum for more information regarding the ls series though.
