New intake setup soon, Expectations?
Hey guys,
My MAF just went (96k miles) and i need to replace it, so im going ahead and replacing my entire intake setup. It will be a LS6 intake with a matching ported TB, and a 85mm MAF, what should i expect for power gains? 1/4 times? my car is a a4 3600 3.73 with full exhaust and LID, best time was 12.4 fully loaded with radials, car also has an aggresive tune from the vette doctors with a 6500 shift point, no knock sensors, and no emissions.
im hoping for 15 horse/torque and .1 on the quarter.

Here is what you should do.... Instead of buying an LS6 intake, go get your yourself a Fast 78mm intake manifold, used of course. The can be had around $500. Then take the top off of it and "massage" it out to fit the 85mm throttle body. This was very simple and only took a few minutes using the gasket that came with the 85mm throttle body. This way you have very close to the Fast 90/90 setup for a lot less cost. This is what I have done to my car and I am very happy with the results. It was suprisingly easy to do. I sold my LS6 intake in favor of this setup.
