Default LS1 to LS6 real gains on turbo car?

Is there power to be gained by going to a LS6 manifold on a turbo car? I presently have a LS1 manifold.

I'm in the same boat as you. I'd like to know the gain at a given boost level/before and after. Everyone 'says' there is, but I wanna know how much. I mean are we talking 10 or 30 rwhp? 10 can be had with 1/2 lb of boost or a change in the weather

I think the idea is to make your hp goal with the least amount of boost...so stepping up to the LS6 intake you can make the same power with less boost.

I understand boost is a measure of restriction and how it works, I just like to see actual numbers
