Depends on your bolt-ons. If you have most it can be anywhere around 10-16rwhp.

How does the ls6 hp gain compare to a professional products intake? I am really thinking about buying the polished pp intake it looks bad!!

If your talking about a FAST intake, thats a whole other kettle of fish, if 90 mm should def gain better then LS6 un ported, and ported should show more BUT depending on the combo that is def going to be overkill if you are still doing bolt ons + the price is MUCH higher.

if ur going from LS1 to LS6 intake then yea! gain some (5-15hp) depends on mods u have/will have. not compared to Fast cause that Fast is in a whole different arena. as for the Prof. Products I have one (90mm) I got for $200. need tb and install. what do Ya'll think my hp gains would be.. 2001 LS1, H/C, 418rwhp/389rwtq???? is it worth installing? or should I sell it for a Fast 90?

This will definitely be my next mod, along with some suspension work because at 120 my car starts getting violent.

Go with the ls6 OP, with full bolt ons its a great mod for the money.
