Looking to buy an LS6 intake and get my stock TB ported. Now do you think i should get my car tuned for these new parts or wait till i get gears and do it all at once?

Also what kind of gains should i see from these? I really dont think that it'll be the thirty rwhp that they advertise

I would just wait till you get all the mods done that you wanna do before you get it tuned. When I done my LS6 intake swap I didn't really notice any gains. I do think you will notice more of a gain from the intake if you had a cam but mostly stock you won't feel much, I didn't anyway

Would it be more benificial if it were just a street tune or dyno tune?

Porting a stock throttle body will give you much better throttle feel and reaction but I doubt if it will give you any extra HP. If it does it will be minimal at best.

As far as a LS6 intake. You woun't get anywhere neare a 30 HP gain. Maybe more like 12 or so depending on any other mods or bolt on's your may or may not have

You can get a tune after these additions but it really won't be needed at this point in time

ported tb and ls6 combo will get you 15+rwhp on a stock car...you will notice a gain fromidle all the way up...

What about that combo with LT's, ory, borla cat back, volant ram air, and nitrous cam.... How much dif would the intake and TB make????

i hear a lot of people really feel it with LT's. The combo lets the engine flow alot better

I would guess 15 RWHP with the LS6 and ported TB. You don't need to get it tuned...I would wait for more significant mods.

15 whould b a safe estimate.....dont waste ur money on tuneing an intake

get the jantzer ported tb from 99blancoss its a sweet sweet piece, and the price is great. you will definitely have some nice gains. probably around 15 to the wheels with a ls6 intake

When i got my LT installed it actually felt kinda heavy till i git it tuned. Making me assume i'd have to tune for every major mod like this or so. As for the TB, i was actually going to have Damian from Spartan performance do it. Heard nothing but good reviews on his work and customer service

i wouldn't get a tune untell you have all the bolt ons on at least. not worth the money for a little power gain, when you cam/heads then tune is a must. don't worry about LS6, or gears first becuase you're getting both so get whatever you can afford at the time, if you don't have much top end the LS6 should help out top end. but gears will give you that punch down low, just make sure to give them the proper break in process.

yep, get everything you want done first, then get it tuned at the end.
