Default LT/ls6 intake swap car runs amazing!!!

After a few nights of debating I decided not to tear out my motor in the middle of summer to put all my new parts on. Instead I just installed my LS6 intake manifold and my Lt headers/cated Y, along with some nitto T555r's and il tell you what did it make a difference letting that car hook and breathe it really pulls hard now and i beat cars before that were close with me because all I did was spin. The powerband feels much stronger all the way around definatley glad I didnt take my motor apart in summer


idk what the point of this thread was I was just stoked that it runs awsome for just a weekends worth of work cant wait for heads/cam this winter

actully she isnt tuned yet the tsp catted y does not have after cat o2 bungs in it so i need to take it and have that code deletedI do notice it runs very very rich and sucks gas like its going out of style but none the less i notice it runs alot better and after the tune Im expecting to squeez a little more out of it before I tear it apart in a few months.


for a baseline dyno the previous owner had it done I dont recall an exact number but b4 the Lts LS6 intake and all the suspension/gear which is what ive done so far I recall it so be between 320-330 whp roughly what do you think the new mods added because the whole powerband feels much stronger

yeah when i put the LS6 intake i felt a little more pull up top. Then when i put LT's i felt the grunt down low and then more up top also.

We almost have the same mods, you could near the same HP/TQ as me!?!?

Where did you get your ls6 intake? Used? I am pumped to get mine done after reading this. I ordered LTs & should have them this week. I havent got an ls6 yet, but been looking on ebay for used ones. I will be gettin a tune after. Nice.

ya i got mine used from my friend for $250 it was a nice mod to do I also like how the exhaust note is with cats its nice and clean and absolutley no crackle


tnmotown- that sounds about right sounds like you also have a very stout running bolt on LS1 you should do some nittos and see how you do at the track

The full catback is a good note. Your thinking of the Loudmouth. Not everyone's cup of tea.
