If it didn't came with the intake, you will need TB seal and port seals and the other stuff could just swap to new intake!! if you want you could change the injectors o-rings I will only change them if you see they look old and have little cracks other then that i will just put some grease to prevent them from cracking and finish

not in a bad way but why would you upgrade to a 92mm? im guesing a FAST? your only going to make more power with that large of an intake if you have a cam setup to take advantage of the added flow. id just put an ls6 intake on if i were you.

What he says. An ls6 intake will be plenty for your mods.

96? Guess your looking into a Typhoon. They make 2 different 96's. One for the LS1 and one for the LS2. LS1 you should have everything you need, so just the tb.90 or above 4 bolt.

Ok so i went with every1 and got a ls6 intake and ported tb. So next question will it run the same if i dont tune it or get worse? I kno i have to tune it to get the hp but i dont wanna spend all sorts of money on a dyno just for an intake. Will it be fine installed for a month until i get my full exhaust on or should i just wait until i install my headers and catback? And i hav a diablo tuner, can i adjust it on that?

Get an LS6 and port your throttle body.

As far as the tune, you can drive it without tuning it, you will have a SES code for EGR.

Throw your diablo tuner away, get a dynotune when your done with the headers.

The car should run fine if installed correctly. I would hold off on the tune until all your bolt ons are done...
