Default LS6 intake vs LS1 intake

search as we all know doesnt really go too far back in time. so my question is, has anyone turbo or blower dynoed with an ls1 intake then later with an ls6? just wondering what the power gain really is at say 10-15 lbs when its being ran through an ls1 vs ls6.

thanks.

Ive asked before and the answer i got was there will be an increase with the LS6 but not as much as there would be on an NA motor. It will be there but not as much, a few ponies, so is it worth the money? Up to you but for FI, i think if you upgrade intake, go big or go home if you want to gain some notcieable amounts.

LS6 intake doesnt have EGR which is nice.

You could look at a vette LS1 intake though which doesnt have EGR. (EGR is just one more thing to leak under boost)
