How much gain could one expect from LS6?

What kind of gain should i expect from a LS6 intake swap on a bolt on car? I know it really helps when there is more done to the car such as cam/heads but what kind of gains have yall seen from just a bolt-on LS1?

I put one on my FRC. I'm sure it helped. I recommend doing it.

I put one on a formula that I had and I thought it was worth the money.. especially if you pick up a used one and put it on yourself. It makes a noticable difference.

The Ls6 manifold has been proven to show 12-15rwhp gains over the Ls1 time and time again. Go to the Gen III external engine section and search for Ls6 intake, there will be plenty of dyno results and info on gains from the swap.
