Default LS1 or LS6 Intake

Guys, I just bought another WS6. This one is a 2000. Someone has already put long tube headers on it, removed the cats and had it tuned. I was told that the intake was an LS6. Is there a way to tell without removing it?

I am thinking about getting a new throttle body, cold air kit, smooth bellows and lid?

Should I even worry about the throttle body, or will the stock tb be just fine without changing the cam or intake?

Sorry for all the questions, I am back in the rookie/newbie stage. It has been a couple of years since I had my last WS6, and it only had a lid and exhaust.

Thanks for the suggestions!!!!

The LS6 intake will have the part number 88894339 marked on the drivers side flange.

Yeah, look for a GM part number and post it - they've changed them over the years. Mine came with PN 12561184.

12561184 is the correct number for the 01-02 fbody intake. I just did some more searching and the one I posted above is a newer number. Just get the part number off your intake and search it on google.

BTW, stock TB is good to some 500HP. I wouldn't worry about it until you upgrade to a larger (IE: 90mm) intake.

If its an LS6, keep it!
