Default Help with next mod. LS6 intake?

Im thinking about an ls6 intake. Based on the mods in my sig, is this money well spent? or is there something else i should do first? Any info on gains, cost, and install would be greatly appreciated!

I can't get the search feature to work otherwise i would have started there!

Ya, You should notice an increase in your power up high. This will help your car breath easier and is a hell of alot cheaper the the fast.

i say its definetly a good mod. I bet you will pick up anywhere from 10-15whp. And benefit even more from it later on if you do Heads or cam or both.

This one one of my favorite mods, it was a pain cuz I am impatient and ripped the old intake out too quickly and broke the oil pressure sending unit. Just take your time, def. money well spent!

Link to install the ls6 intake. I would expect to pay around $300 for a used ls6. I believe slp has them though with the coolant lines and plugs you need for around $400 new.
