so i was just off by one year getting the intake that i want? lol. so is that intake going to give me more horsepower if i put it on? i thought that all the WS6's had the same hp from 98-02...

also, was the tb on the 01 and 02 better than the 00 WS6 ones?

The rating on the later ones was bumped up from 305 to 320hp mainly b/c of the LS6 intake and better exhaust manifolds.

i thought they were all rated at 325hp for the WS6's...

LS69TA

Nope, 98-00 were 305. I think the regular cars were 285 and then 305 for 01-02. The extra 20 was for the ram air.

As rated from GM
`98-00 Z28 Formula Trans Am 305HP / 335TQ
`98-00 SS WS6 320HP / 345 TQ
`01-02 Z28 Formula Trans Am 310 HP / 340TQ
`01-02 SS WS6 325HP / 350 TQ

The addd power was from the LS6 intake but a smaller 6.0 Truck cam evened it back out again.
These numbers are not realist though,
All `97-`04 LS1's will make approx 345-350 FWHP
The LS6 intake when installed on a `98-00 car will show a nice gain of approx 10-15 HP due to the early cars more aggressive cam.

well thats good to know. just wish i could have had a year newer since im getting a bigger cam anyways...oh well...

LS69TA

iTrader: (30)

Yea, but once you put a cam in it, might as well get a FAST intake and TB instead of the stock pieces.

well that'll be farther down the road, have already talked about that in another thread. advice given was to wait till i had all of my other mods done, then do that for the last 10 or 15 hp i wanted.

The above info is completely correct.

so did ALL the WS6's, SS's, Trans Am's, and Z28's have the LS6 intake in 01 and 02?

LS1W66

Yes the LS1 intake was discontinued after `00 and all Passenger car LS1's used the New LS6 Intake.

also a lot of LS6 blocks got put into 2002 f-body's. Mine has a LS6 block and had a LS6 intake but sold it for a FAST 90/90
