This component regulates the amount of air entering an engine. A larger bore, specifically one measuring 102mm, allows for a greater volume of airflow. This increased airflow can be particularly advantageous in modified engines designed for higher performance, such as the LS3.
The primary benefit lies in enhanced engine responsiveness and potential power gains. By facilitating a greater intake of air, the engine can more readily meet the demands for increased combustion, especially at higher RPMs. Historically, modifications to the air intake system, including the part discussed here, have been a common practice in pursuit of increased horsepower and torque.
