Default Just did ls6 mani swap

Ok, I just did the LS6 mani swap, but Idk if I feel more power. I have a slp lid, slp ud pulley and a cutout. Then again roads have been kinda wet so I cant get wot really atm. I guess my question is, what rpm range/ mph range would I feel it the most? Also did !AIR and !EGR, but i dont think that should affect performance.

It's mostly mid to top range, you'll feel the car goes faster vs ls1 intake. Port/polish your TB to take advantage of the intake bigger volume capacity.

My car felt smoother all through the range after my LS6 swap.

I couldn't believe the amount of crud under the LS1 intake.

+1 to that! After the swap, I hear a little ticking sound, but there is like 1.5 seconds between the sound, its kinda odd, I imagine its just engine noise, but Idk, sounds like from the passenger side, but my car is too loud to pinpoint it.

I couldn't feel any difference after I swapped mine. Come to think of it, the only time I have felt a difference is after my induction (K&N FIPK) when the car was stock and my cam. I am sure all my other mods made a difference, just not that I could tell.

i picked up 1 mph from swapping an ls6 in place of an ls1 intake on a bolt-on car. not worth the swap until you have a cam, imho. but if you ask me i'd tell you to save some more money and buy a fast, as the fast is miles ahead of an ls6.

Oh yeah i broke mine and that PCV line behind the intake is sooo brittle. if you have egr watch it when you pull that line for it that runs to the back of the intake which is i think when i broke mine. I didnt think it would be so easy to break things when doing the swap but i was totally wrong lol.
