Default LS6 intake worth it on Hotcam / Mac header car?

All my mods are listed below. I've been holding out on getting an LS6 intake due to the price (I want to keep my EGR in place).

Now that I have my cam installed, I'm thinking its a good as time as any to put on an LS6 intake.

Any advice is appreciated!

Tommy

BTW, anyone know of the least expensive place to get an LS6 intake with EGR proviisions?

I say get the intake and ditch the egr. Buy a used intake and if youre not happy with the gains you can always turn around and sell it for what you paid. Im guessin that you would see about 15hp gain.

Abso-friggin-lutely. An LS6 intake is a MUST for any internally modded LS1.

I'd get it!!!

We just did a 02 SS (LS6 Intake already) with flps,!cats,hot cam,pulley and lid.

We also added 4.10's to the car too.

Results were 367RWHP/361RWTQ after LS1 Edit.
That was threw a Duel/Duel....

The car is still running the stock stat and we didnt use a PTB yet.Customer will add those mods in a few months and then we'll retune it.

I was pretty happy with the results for such a mild setup.The car rips threw the gears and sounds mean as hell.
