800 to 900HP. What mods that will be made is STS turbo kit, 408 stroker kit, Turbo cam, AFR heads, 50hp shot of nitrous, water/meth kit, flow matched siemens deka 83 FMS injectors 2 255 pumps in the tank and #8 feed line.

I cant find anything that really tells me what I would like to know about the intake.

not to be a dick but i don't think 800hp is gonna happen with an sts kit without some serious changes. if your really looking at 800hp an ls6 shouldn't be on the list of intakes your considering

For the boost levels it would take to make that kind of power, you will probably have to run a cast intake. You would end up splitting a composite intake. I would look at a carb intake with an elbow.

vic jr, gmpp single plane, and Cary at PI are all options. Cary's intake is probably the best seeing as it is a 2 piece design so the whole thing can be easily ported if needed

how much boost are you planning on running to make 800-900hp? i'm guessing the sts kit will be heavily modified to meet that kind of power level

sorry looks like Cary's deal is for ls7 and canted valve heads. might want to give him a call though cause it is a very nice piece

I doubt it you will have to go to a cowl hood I think.

As much as I can get by with. But I am not for sure if I will keep it or not the sts. the turbo is a gt76.
