Question intake swap

Ive got the polished lingenfelter intake on my 2000ws6-6speed.....last week i put down 421rwhp with a stage 2E head/g-1 camfrom MTI. Istill have the stock throttle body, and im wondering if the fast lsx 90 intake/90tb. combo will make a big diff. for the buck....? I also have a nitro set up as well, but have not yet tuned and tested for..... I feel that this intake is robb-in me hp. ANY advice???? thanx

Definitely stand to gain a good amount especially coming from an LS1/stock throttle body to a 90/90. I would say anywhere from 15-25RWHP.

id have the weiand ported or extrude honed and use the bbk tb save you alot of money and imo you should see some nice gains
this is the main advantage of the metal intake it can be fully ported.i couldnt imagine spending 1k+ for a plastic intake and it be destroyed by a n2o back fire just my 2 cents

ithink you should just port your intake and get a throttle body you asked if it was worth the gain then the answer is no if you had a stock intake then maybe you might see 15 to 20rwhp

go for it, you can sell your intake you have now to offset the money loss.
