putting that cam in a car with stock heads and a stock intake is probably the worst thing you could do. you really need to do a few key mods to help the cam shine. ls6 intake MINIMUM. i hit 395 rwhp though an auto with a g5x3, stock heads, and ls6 intake, also went 11.8's with that setup.

Anyone know where the best/cheapest place to get LS6 intakes is?

ls6 intakes on the corvetteforum dot com all day long for $300-$350 shipped!!!
ls6 heads are going for $500 over there as well
im glad others noticed what i saw as well 98 heads are the bottle neck more than the intake is
sounds like you got some good advice, give us an update after you get a few things resolved.

FYI the 98 heads have the same ports as all the other year LS1 heads. The only difference is that GM changed the way the heads were cast resulting in a slightly better finish on the ports surface.

hey i'm glad to hear maybe the 98 heads are that much different than the other years then....
and i do have long tube headers, and just added a cutout right after the offroad y, so the exhaust side will be flowing plenty good. i just paid a guy for an ls6 intake, hoping it will come in real early next week....
i sure hope this stuff really helps cause i'm having a pretty hard time turning my 315 nitto's....

Anyways hopefully he takes everyones advice and lets that SOB breath a lot better. Then he'll see what the g5x4 can do.
Can't wait to go check out that post Mike, and thanks. Running late for work and I am driving my daily , not the vette so I won't be hitting 190 on the way to work today. Later and happy holidays to everyone.

Sounds like a plan. I'll have new headgaskets in March 07. Car is sitting in the garage making me sick. I don't even look at it. I am going to miss starting her up every week over the winter to keep the battery charged and listen to that sweet exhaust rumble. That **** was like music to my ears. Oh well March will be here soon enough. Mike shoot me an email or PM and we'll set something up.
