I take off the cover and still nothing! Is that some adapted version of the LS# engines? Forget about lack of engine dress up, it was just generally unimpressive.

FYI, the LS2 in the TBSS has a different intake manifold (and it's not real pretty) that's supposed to offer more low RPM torque. With the cover off that intake manifold is fairly hideous looking. A lot of the guys will keep them, as they do work well. They are also a popular swap for the regular 5.3/6.0 truck guys due to the large 90mm throttle body.
