Default Mod Question

Hey All,

I was having some problems with my Ws6 and a friend of mine that is a GM mechanic has been working on it for me... Well the car is almost fixed, (I hope). Well the Intake was taken off in the proccess of fixing it, I was wondering if it would be worth it to put a LS6 intake or some kind of Aftermarkt intake on the car. I dont really have much done to the car for mods sooo I dont know if just adding an intake manifold would be over kill.... Let me know what you all think... And if anyone has anything local for sale!

Chris

adding an intake would be good and net you more power (10hp) or so, or a fast 78 but right now for you there would not be much of a difference so i would say go with a ls6 intake.
