Whether you’re hauling a trailer or using your truck as a daily workhorse, this is for the driver who needs more off-the-line grunt and better throttle response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Problem:\u003c\/strong\u003e The factory intake on the Vortec V8 is notorious for its restrictive, baffled design. The stock plastic assembly uses corrugated tubing that creates massive air turbulence and a paper filter that gets choked easily. In the GMT400 chassis, this leads to sluggish acceleration and a loss of efficiency when the engine is under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Solution:\u003c\/strong\u003e This performance intake system replaces the entire restrictive factory path with mandrel-bent T304 aluminum piping. By providing a direct, smooth-bore path to the throttle body, we significantly reduce intake air temperatures and increase the volume of oxygen available for combustion, correcting the factory breathability limitations of the Vortec engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy This is the Ultimate Upgrade\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncreased Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gain up to 10% more horsepower and torque by optimizing the air-to-fuel ratio and reducing pumping losses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy-Duty Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built with T304 lightweight aluminum piping that resists heat soak better than thinner aftermarket alternatives, ensuring consistent power even in high-temp engine bays.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSimplified Maintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes a high-flow, washable pleated filter that only requires servicing every 50,000 miles, eliminating the need for expensive paper replacements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e1996-2000 Chevrolet 2500 \/ 3500\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eEngine Family\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eVortec V8 (L30 \/ L31)\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eFactory Ratings\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e5.0L: 220 HP \/ 285 lb-ft; 5.7L: 255 HP \/ 330 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-weight: bold;\"\u003ePart Numbers\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e5.0, 5.7, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2500, 3500\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility \u0026amp; OEM Reference\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFits the Following Vehicles:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1996 Chevrolet 2500 \/ 3500 (5.0L \u0026amp; 5.7L V8)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1997 Chevrolet 2500 \/ 3500 (5.0L \u0026amp; 5.7L V8)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1998 Chevrolet 2500 \/ 3500 (5.0L \u0026amp; 5.7L V8)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1999 Chevrolet 2500 \/ 3500 (5.0L \u0026amp; 5.7L V8)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2000 Chevrolet 2500 \/ 3500 (5.0L \u0026amp; 5.7L V8)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInterchange Part Numbers:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: monospace; font-size: 0.9em; color: #666; background-color: #f5f5f5; padding: 10px; border-radius: 4px;\"\u003e\n1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2500, 3500, 5.0, 5.7, V8, T304-ALUM-BLK\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Performance Promise\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuy with confidence.\u003c\/strong\u003e This kit is engineered for a bolt-on installation that takes less than 60 minutes with basic hand tools.
