Default How much would I gain from certain intake/TB combos?

Looking for RWHP gain estimates. Stock throttle body, stock ls1 intake so far.

What about with the LS6 and a ported TB?
What about with a ported FAST 92 combo?

What cam?

With the LS6 intake I would assume 15hp or so untuned. A bit more with a tune.

It's called the Dominator 2. I'd get a re-tune.

I am in the same boat as you, as you can tell in my thread. I dont know if the FAST is worth the extra money. I think with the FAST you might be able to pick up 5-10 extra HP over the LS6. Maybe that is worth it if you are made of money.

The way I look at it is the LS6 intake will be plenty for a cam only car. If you decide to go with a bigger set up then you can always sell the LS6 for the same exact price you payed for it, and step up to the FAST.

A used LS6 was worth $300 2 years ago, and it is worth $300 now. It will probably be worth that much 2 years from now.

That's how I see it.. plus I don't wanna go too far. A lot of stock stuff or certain upgrades start to go as you approach 600 RWHP, and I wanna stick with a 100-125 shot.
