Default Finished my LS6 Intake install

Just want to thank -Freak- and LS1Howto for the great write up's, but I did end up breaking the Oil Pressure Sending Unit , I can't believe the difference I can feel with it, it actually feels like I'm taking advantage of the longtube headers and getting some serious airflow through the engine, when I put the headers on I was a little disappointed because it still felt like it fell flat around 5000rpms but with the LS6 on it feels like it pulls a lot better all the way through the RPM range up to redline , now it's time to start some cam and N2O shopping

I noticed a pretty good increase in top end pull as well...definitely a worthwhile mod!

The swap is pretty easy. The new oil pressure sending unit is alot stronger. The plastic on my old one was real brittle, I'm suprised that when the fans cut on it didn't knock it off.

What times are you running? I'm looking for an LS6 now and I want to get a stall about that size in the near future. I have about the same mods as you, minus the intake and stall, just wondering what times to expect.
