New LS1 Owners - Newbie Tech - Ls6 intake worth it?

With my mods, mainly with a open cutout, would a ls6 intake be worth buying? If so how much hp/tq are they usually worth to the wheels?

also thinkin about pickin one up..doin a cam though so i think i should

I put an LS6 intake on my LS1 and was very impressed with the HP gain

Was yours stock though? or do you have any mods

10-15 rwhp maybe less. Get some LT's to go with it and you'll see a much better gain.

yes but if your looking in to getting a cam and plan on making power past 6300rpm go with a ported fast 90/90 you will see more gains

yes, get one. even if u upgrade later to the fast 90/90 u will get ur money back on the ls6 intake...

It's not just the peak power gain, it's how it changes your torque curve and power band.

yes you should get one, it is a def aid in HP/TQ gains. if you really wanna squeeze all the HP you can get, then get a fast 90/90 but i think and have heard LS6 intakes would do just fine. expecially with the price difference in a 90/90 vs. a LS6 intake.

I'm still debating this subject as well, you know you can always get most of your money back on an LS6 when you upgrade, so why not?

I got 10hp up top w/LS6 intake swap....I still need to be tuned so i could see more. I couldn't really tell that much of a difference at all from the LS1 intake. But definately worth it for down the road if you plan on camming it or adding air mods to it.

I dont think $350 is worth the 10hp from 5 to 6k rpm's, im holding out for the street warrior intake coming out. Thats if the price is not threw the roof like fast. :eyes:

i dont think its in just the top end you see a gain... be regardless, it will help you get more out of other mods you do to the car.

i am waiting to see what this street warrior intake hits the market at pricewise as well... but for now, i'm running a ls6 intake.

plus i wanted to get rid of my egr crap and this helped with a cleaner setup, along with my race headers and ORY
