Default Intake Manifold 01 SS Guess Horsepower??

I have a 2001 Camaro SS with 60K. My understanding is that is came Stock with the LS6 Upper Intake Manifold on it. Is it worth the money to get an aftermarket Manifold and Throttle Body. If so, what kind?
Also, there is not a Dyno within 100 miles. Trying to guess HP & Torque. I beleive Stock is 325 HP & 350 lb-ft Torque. Adds are Hooker Super Comp Long Tubes, No Cats, 2 Chamber 40 Series Flowmaster, SLP Cold Air Intake, SLP High Flow Box wih K&N Filter, SLP MAF, SLP Bellow, March Pulleys, Superchips Microtuner and the infamous "Tornado" which gave me about 2 more MPG. Not bad for $10.00
Besides Nitrous are there any other adds that will not kill my wallet?

ALL HELP IS APPRECIATED

Do a search on here, but I believe that a FAST 90mm intake and throttlebody will give you about 20 hp.

The factory hp/tq rating on cars is at the crank. Dynos are at the wheels. Is your car and M6 or A4?

the LS6 is a great manifold for your power level. i wouldn't worry about an intake right at this point.

Yah I'd second that notion...


Like has been stated your intake is fine right now, you don't have any mods that require a better intake. BUT do you plan on doing any further mods?
