LS6 Intake,lid and exhaust I promised I was going to keep my 2000 WS6 stock but I am curious as to what kind of gains I can expect from:
LS6 Intake
Lid
GMMG exhaust
tune
I know it's bench racing, but I guesstimate around 40-50 hp.
Might throw in a yank street thruster convertor too.
What do you guys think?

It'll give the car a good kick in the ***. Id say somewhere around 30hp. But like mentioned above I noticed a nice pickup from my ported 92 Fast, LS2 TB & 85mm maf tuned. LS6 is a good intake but only worth an additional 5-10hp. Biggest gains will be from a set of LT's and a good Stall.

Lid, LS6 intake, Blackheart True Duals (the full system - their midlength headers) on my 2000 SS M6 and I put down 348/351 a few weeks back. Bone stock on the same dyno, same operator, and similar weather conditions (although, 2 years apart) I put down 312/326. So, a 36 WHP/25 WTQ jump in power. It's noticeable, and the sound is great.

most of it. I mean, the LS6 intake is probably worth 5-10. Tune, maybe 10 if I am lucky - I am an M6, and he didn't touch my timing tables much, if at all. The tune was pretty minor. It was mostly getting AFR correct.
Could longtubes or another exhaust add more power? Probably. Would it be negligible? My belief is probably. The quality and sound of the Blackheart system are great to me. It wasn't super cheap, but it wasn't crazy either. All stainless, all fasteners included, went together pretty darn easily. My only real gripe was I couldn't get my O2's to plug in - they give 1 extension, but I needed two. I fixed that by repinning the harness since I was getting a tune anyway, and swapped my front and rear O2's at the PCM. No extensions needed at all now.

I will say, I had the intake on my otherwise stock car for months. Felt a little difference. Threw the exhaust on, definitely felt a difference. Took it for the tune, and felt a difference, but not nearly as much as the exhaust.
Don't get me wrong, it's not like when Paul Walker hits the NAAAAAWSSSS kinda difference, but the car definitely felt like it was breathing easier and just pulled better once the exhaust was on. My point is, it's not like you go from stock to a Z06 feel or anything, but it's noticeable and worth it IMO

My car is a convertible cruiser, so I am not out for max HP. I am pretty damn low on shitty MI roads, so this was a great compromise for me. Sounds amazing (it really does - audible, not annoying, great tone), awesome ground clearance (as good or better than stock), and full stainless. I really love the setup and wouldn't trade it for any other, honestly.

1-7/8 primaries. I have no idea on the individual increases, just that I saw and felt the nice increase from it and the tune.

Oh that's cool ..... Thank you for your honest and revealing review of the Blackheart True Duals . When this first came out I didn't give much interest into it , but taking a second look it is a very good system. Hooker and Holley are coming out with new parts and continue to develop its line. I think there new line of Sniper tb are going to be big sellers.
