newbie questions, ls1/ls6 tb differences? hello, i am considering a intake swap for my 2000 t/a convertible. i am thinking of getting a ls6 intake. i know theres much debate between, the fast and the ls6. but i don't intend on racing the car, and i still would like it to appear stock. so i think the ls6 should be fine. my question is about the throttle body though. is the ls1 tb different than a ls6? inferior, superior? if i were to do this upgrade, i would like to know, as i am not sure about this. was thinking about getting the tb ported and polished. last thing is this. how much increase in hp can i expect. new lid, fernco mod. ported and polished tb. tb coolant bypass, and the ls6 intake.does 25-40 sound about right. the car is all stock right now. was planning on this first,then possibly going with the bassani true dual set-up. my planning is going by extensive research on this site. i would appreciate any opions or suggestions before i make any purchases. thank you, for you input!!!!!!!!!

Fernco mod - useless aside from aesthetics. TB Bypass - pretty much useless as well. Porting the stock TB is a good mod. Your biggest gain would be from a lid and the LS6 intake. I'd say 20 HP from both of those. Since you have a stock exhaust right now, it's probably not going to be as big of a gain as you expected.
