Agreed with a lot of what's above. If you're planning on running a TPI setup it will have to be an aftermarket system in order to get to the 12's. I'd suggest the Super Ram or the StealthRam with a set of AFR 195's and maybe the LPE 219 cam or larger. Both intakes make good power but have their own inherent characteristics. Yes the Stealth Ram has no EGR and should be non emissions compliant but you may be able to get away with it...your decision to take the chance or not.

As for Bubba's statement about changing the hood for clearance....if he was referring to use of the Super Ram there's no need to get a taller hood. Stealth Ram I can't vouch for but I believe it fits under the factory hood as well.
