Default Will a ported FAST LS1 intake & a Nick Williams TB give me big gains on my 2002 Z28?

My horsepower mods for my 2002 Z28 are the following:

Thunder Racing ported TB, SLP lid & UD pulley, SSRA2, HSW dynotune

And don't forget that I already have the LS6 intake since it's a 2002 and, to repeat, i already have a ported factory throttle body.

Will a ported FAST LS1 intake with the Nick Williams throttle body give me significant power gains with the mods listed above? Will I need other parts to install with the ported intake and throttle body such as a fuel rail? Where can I get this combo with the FAST intake already ported? Thanks in advance for the info.

Without a cam, you'd probably lose a bit of low and mid-range power, and not gain nearly enough in the top end to equal out. The LS6 seems to be quite sufficient on stock cube, stock-cam cars.

I wouldn't mess with it unless you get a cam or definetly a head and cam package.

Definitely not until you have either a) a pretty big cam, or b) heads/cam. I wouldn't get it until you meet one of those two.

Couldn't have said it better.
