Default Need a quick answer; which part will help more?

ok, so heres my setup:
347 ls1. 232/234 .565/.585 nitrous cam. port and polished 5.3L heads. long tubes. no a/c. stock intake manifold (! egr)/stock pullies.

will my car gain more from an LS6 intake? Or will it gain more from a 25% underdrive crank pully?

you will probally gain a little more with the intake, generally the LS6 intake gives you 15 RWHP and the pulley will give you around 10, either way you cant go wrong, and the pulley is cheaper so its really a win win situation

the intake would be used, $225 and the pulley will be new and around the same price.

i turn 6500 rpms on this combo if that affects anything

Well I would jump on the intake b/c thats a hell of a price for a LS6 intake, then save up and buy the pulley

If it has an egr port I dont think its an ls6. NO c5's had egr's. be careful. Does it have a flat bottom or a rib down the center?
