Default Question and concern..
I recently added a LS6 intake and injectors and only gained around 3-4 rwhp, i was rather disappointed in these results, i was fooling around in my motor and i pushed a plugwire boot in and i heard it "click" does that mean it was not in ALL the way and resulting in a lil hp lost due to possibly arching inside the boot to somewhere..if it didnt click ALL the way in yall think that was why i was disappointed in my results...

I know sounds retarded but anby thoughts would greatly be appreciated!

Thanks
Travis

I would look at the plug to see if its burnt on the top. But if you threw no ses then I guess it was close enough not to spark on top of it.

Are your LS6 heads stock castings or are they touched up at all? If they are just stock heads I'd say your numbers are good.
