Ls6 Intake, What's The Advantage? What is the advantage of upgrading to an LS6 intake manifold on a mostly stock 2000 LS1 with only a lid, ported TB, and Borla cat back upgrades?
I will probably never do a cam, head swap or headers so what gains can be expected by upgrading the intake and which one do you guys recommend?
I know a 90mm would be overkill.

Go with the LS6 IMO

If I go with the LS6 intake will I lose any low end torque?

Ah, well NJ has the same tests and I passed on my old LT1 with LTs and a catted Y-pipe... That was even the sniffer (moot point). We do the plug in test here, and I've known a few ppl that pass with ORY and having the rear 02s programmed out, it's just that you need to go through a drive cycle, just some food for thought 
Might as well do the intake now if you want, it's not like you have to do any of them in order, should you change your mind on headers down the road.

I wish it was that easy... here you go:

My friend didn't do that, he just drove the car a lot when he put LTs and ORY on, and only failed because the CEL was on because of a busted AIR pump, his programming of the rear 02s was fine.

Holy crap dude, I just read the info you sent me and as much as I appreciate you really helping me out........It seems like more aggrevation than it's worth. I have a Diablo sport programmer that has the capability of deleting the EGR and AIR codes but I have been told that they only shut off the SES light and do not eliminate the signal to the OBD II.

correct you are. you have to send in your pcm to a tuner to program out the rear 02's

Good call, I know that if you only delete the code, eventually it SHOULD come back. Case being, I had my friend delete my rear 02 code before I had them programmed out after headers... light went on no more than 50 miles later. Try to inspect first, then have two years to mess around with the car
