Any 383/402/408 Owners with LS6 Intake? Has anybody run their stroker with a LS6 intake? Do you have any numbers? Did you switch to something else and if so what? What kind of gains did you see? Thanks! Ben

Theres a local guy (I think he's a member of the forum) who has a low compression forged 408 with afr 225s and an upper 230 duration cam running the ls6 intake in a vette. He made around 440rwhp/440rwtq out of that motor n/a. He recently added a novi blower setup and is making quite a bit more power. BUT the motor made good power with the ls6, but I'm sure you'd gain by going to a fast 90 setup.

I had an LS6 on my 383 for a while. Made 440/410 with stock un-ported TB. Swapped to a Fast90/NW90 combo a while back. Haven't been back to the dyno yet because the Fast90 tends to leak.

I was asking because I am putting in a 383 stroker and wondered how much better a 90/90 would be. Cost is becoming an issue and I don't want to lose too much mid-range either. Thanks for the replies!

I ran the LS6 intake for awhile on my 408, 440hp & 437ft lbs. TQ. Ive since swapped to the FAST 90 intake but haven redyno'd. Seems like the 440 range is real popular with the LS6 intake. BTW- that was with Patriot stage III LS6 heads, comp 244/248, and a 10.7-1 CR.

That should definitely show you that the LS6 is no slouch and won't exactly rape you of making high numbers, it just doesn't let the car reach full potential.
