If you can make 100 hp off a 300-400 dollar upgrade sign me up. I heard that it was about 15 hp.

I'd believe 10-15 HP, and about the same in torque. My dyno went up from 298HP to 306HP and 315ft/lb to 325ft/lb but at the same time I went with a heavier LS7 clutch which lost me some torque and HP.

In a nutshell, it's worth it. The gains will be higher if you factor in cam/headers/heads etc over a LS1.

Its only good for 10hp from 5k to 6k rpms from the regular ls1 intake.

Id recommend a tune with an LS6 intake. When i went for a retune for mine, it had leaned it out significantly.

100 holy crap. haha but yeah, I'm going to go with the croud and estimate 10-20 depending on current mods

LOLLLL

your friend doesnt know anything about LS1, dont ever let him touch your car.

100hp with an intake swap, he doesnt know anything about cars!!!!

As a good rule of thumb of MOST LS1's, the only ways to get 100 rwhp with one mod are nitrous, turbo or a supercharger. A cyclone, turbonator or strategically placed racing stickers will also net just short of 100 (HAHA!).

In all seriousness, you should see around 10 - 15 rwhp from swapping to the LS6 intake and the bulk of the gains are going to be up higher in the powerband.

I picked up about 9-10 with the LS6 with 224/228 cam and all bolt on's with 4.10 gears and a tune. It will be my next mod on this one too.

Your friend also might want to check out ebay for some electric superchargers. I hear they're worth 500-600 hp.

For the money their worth it IMO, but 1200 for a 90/90 is hard to swallow unless your looking for every horse.

my bad he said that hes getting heads off a corvette along with the intake and it will bump him from 305 to 410 but that still doesnt sound right
