Definitely a Seat of the Pants feel. I do not currently have LT's but I hear that’s a big help. There is some hype how they give you 20 RWHP, but I don’t think that the intake along gives that much,,,as your cam, heads, etc change (if), then I believe that the LS6 intake has room to "grow into" as you change other items in the car. I could be way off, but that’s how I understand it. If I had to guess, (im not financially able to go Dyno every other mod I do), I would guess somewhere in between 5 to 10 RWHP was what I gained.

I gained 9 rwhp on a dynojet with the addition of the LS6 Intake. This was through a stock LS1 with bolt-on modifications including Hooker LT's. I did not feel the difference per say, but the power showed on the dyno and it helped me gain a tenth at the track.

Well I was stupid and held out with my LS1 intake after doing all the other bolt-ons and cam. I just put the LS6 on this weekend and my god its different. I would assume the 10-20rwhp gain is not far off especially with the cam. The car used to feel as if it was running out of steam from about 5500-6500rpm. Now it seems to breathe fully all the way to 6500. I really like it and wish I had done it earlier.

awesome guys, i really appreciate your feedback, yah me and my buddy are both doing them at the same time, with the help of another forum member, i also cannot afford to dyno after every mod, so im hoping itll give me a noticeable difference, which throttle body complements the ls6 the best?
