Default Need some opinions.

I have pacesetter headers, ory, flowmaster with electric cutout, and 4:10s. Its an 01 ws6 m6. It already has the ls6 intake. Should I buy this combo(listed below) and sell the ls6 intake? What would the hp gains be?

Or, keep the ls6 intake and put that kinda money towards other mods? If this option tell me what you would do. It's a DD so I don't really wanna put a cam in it unless it's a good gas preserving cam until at go time. What do you guys think?

Don't waste your money on that. For the price of it your money would be better invested elsewhere. Maybe after a head and cam upgrade but certainly not right now. Honestly I'd invest in some rear suspension pieces for now.

I kinda read through some threads after this thread was posted and I found a lot of guys think it's a waste of money to the the fast intake when you already have a ls6. I wasnt this to be a full bolt on car so I really don't wanna go h/c. What other bolt ons are there? I've got a couple k towards mods.

like earlier said suspension...springs, shocks, LCAs etc having her sit real nice and mean is pretty pricey

If you have a couple G's for mods go get yourself a set of Adjustable Koni's and some strano springs. If you want to go full bolt ons the fast is a waste. If you don't have a pulley on there get one. If the car hasn't been tuned go get a real good tune. After that it is sorta suspension/wheels and tires/save for rear end. I have seen people the Koni shocks in the suspension section. Apparently they make the F-bodys feel like completely different cars.

If I were you, I would slap a set of 243 heads on there and a low 220's duration cam (think 224/224) and have yourself a nice street car with good gas mileage.
