I have a LS1 intake and need to upgrade. Are the aftermarket intakes worth the doubled price tag over the LS6? Also is "porting" the intake nothing more than just the intake hole itself or is there a way to port the runners on this type of intake?

with bolt ons the aftermarket (fast) intake isnt worth it. when you get into heads/cam territory, then its a worthy investment.

there really is no porting you can do to the manifolds. the material doesnt really like it

I plan on doing a cam then prob summer doing heads. I dont particularly want to drop a big chunk on an intake unless necessary ya know?

Yeah an LS6 intake wont be holding you back. @ the shop theres a t/a with a 370cube/~500rwhp still rocking the ls6 and stock tb. Get cam and heads first

I have an actual LS1 intake (99) right now, thinking of getting a LS6 if i find a good deal on one used just for a little bit more HP with a lid and maybe port my TB. I just got the car and it is still bone stock lol..

I think it depends on your budget and goals......if you want to spend more and get maybe ~15 hp....then go for it.

If you are on a budget, and you want an intake, there is no reason not to get the LS6 manifold.

I was pretty much planning on a LS6 anyway but curious about the others. The extra money it would cost to get a FAST can go towards my stall or cam.
