As the title says. I am currently on the hunt for an upgraded intake for my 02 Tahoe 5.3.

I know the throttle bodies are different sizes internally, but are the tubes that go onto the TB different sizes?

I want to pick up an Airaid Jr. intake tube. Need to know which one will work with this swap.

Also, if I pick up a set of adapter harnesses there's no reason I couldn't use the stock 07+ injectors and fuel rails is there?

Also need to know because there's a few intakes for sale near me for 08-13 trucks that I could pick up cheap. Just don't know if they'll fit

Just buy an intake for the application you're installing. If you're installing an 08 TBSS intake, buy a CAI for an 08 TBSS.

Only thing that's stopping me from pulling the trigger on this. Being that I live in New England and visually looking at them, I know I shouldn't reuse my existing rails/injectors. Also don't feel like modifying them to fit.

Just want to know if I'd need anything else.

I have a set of stock injectors and rails off my LQ4 that I'd sell for cheap if you want them. Shipping plus $50.
