Would you guys recoomend the LS6 intake with stock heads?
Right now my car has a lid, GM Hotcam, and Loudmouth exhaust. I'll be installing headers in a few weeks and was wondering if it would be worth it to go ahead and install the LS6 intake even though my heads were stock? Would I still get a decent gain from the intake with the hotcam and headers? Or would I be better off waiting to install the intake with heads?

I just installed my Lou's Short Stick today; ...saw it the original post sig. I love it. I added the Husrt brushed aluminum pistol grip handle. It looks really tough, but raised the handle a bunch when I was trying to make the throw shorter. I'll keep it for bling occassions, but 'm putting the H-**** back on for that real short throw

Essentially the LS1 is pretty good and the LS6 only really makes more power above 5000 or so rpm. Same goes for other aftermarket intakes.
Personally I'd go LS6 with a 90mm (round or oval) TB from TPIS. It's cheaper than a 90/90 setup and really not far behind in PEAK numbers and even closer through-out the rev range.
