A little ss history Or lack thereof.....(deep breath) OK some history, I took this car in on trade back in the late summer, has been DD up until just now, so car is in shop & I'm doing a little upgrading, cleaning, inspecting, ect. Only history I have on the car is what I've been told by both SLP & previous owner. All mods in sig where done already when I got car, so my questions are these......I've posted some intake pics
#1 anyway to determine ls6 intake from ls1 while still on car?
#2 casting on heads read 12557331, any info provided by that?
#3 WTH is up with lid, MAF, TB? Do u see how it fits...not?
#4 I truly appreciate any & all info, suggestions, how-to's that you guys provide!! I'm not at a complete loss here, but I really look forward to the input of u seasoned LS owners!!
OK so can't upload pics from phone but I will as soon as I get to computer!

That's also not an 85mm MAF. It is the stock 75mm. That also looks like the same lid that is on mine which is made by whisper.

The op's car is said to be a 98 so it would have 806 heads he doesnt say anything about it having 241s the picture above is of someone elses car. you can see in the pics above that they are in fact 806 heads. the coils are bolted right to the covers instead of brackets and you can actually see some of the bolts on the outside so they heads are infact 98 stock 806 heads. and yes that's an ls1 intake and stock maf. If I were you I'd start witht he basics, ls6 intake, ported stock TB and then headers/ exhuast

This is why I'm a member Great info guys glad to be able clear some of this stuff up! So.... headers are on the way, ls6 intake next. I can pick up SLP 85mm MAF locally for $100. TB has been PP but unsure of quality. Lid is LS1 motorsports which u can see in pics has been trimmed. So I'm guessing with headers, MAF, intake ill need another tune?

looks like the lid is cracked where the maf sensor plugs in. also it shouldnt be cocked like that. as far as the maf sensor the stock part is supposed to be good to 450-500 hp so no point in spending cash on a bigger one till youre way up there

If you have a dremel, some grinding stones, and about 2 hrs you can do it and its good for around 5-7hp. also make sure with the ls6 intake you either get the ls6 steam lines for the heads or you will have to grind the bottom of the intake.

Yeah fitment on the lid is less than ideal, prob start looking for another one. MAF has already been descreened but still has "center section" which ive read can be eliminated. May go ahead & send TB off as core for one that been done correctly (seems ive seen on this board somewhere PP + color choice for $100 plus core?) Also can anyone recommend a trusted tuner close to me? (NW TN)
