I was just wondering if anyone might be able to tell me how much power i am missing with my setup.
2000 ws6
lid, filter, catback, lts, no cats
TR 230/236 112 lsa patriot dual spring kit etc
279/285
.591/.601
380rwhp
380rwtq

I know this is a pretty big cam and that bein said my question is how much would i benefit from an ls6 intake first off, and then how much more power with heads.
Also would i get more power down low or would that mainly help me up top.
I know i shouldnt cheap out but money is tight here and there and i was planning to do a smallish nitrous shot and am looking for the best bang for my buck.
thanks in advance

Is your car an auto or m6? An LS6 intake would help thru out the powerband, but would shine on the top end where the LS1 intake is a choke point. Add a good set of heads on top of that and you should see a gain of 40-50HP(heads and intake).

that intake could easily be costing you 15hp....

that cam should be darn close to 400rwhp with an m6...assuming an ls6 intake. so the 15hp i mentioned would put you right there.


heads would totally wake the car up...even some budget stage 1 heads. hell you could probably pick up some power with just a thinner headgasket.

wish i had at least known that when i had my top end built.
