you need an LS6 intake bad! The LS1 intake is choking your combo (If it's still the same as your sig) You can get one dirt cheap, hell I found one for sale on craigslist for my TA for 150$. Although putting it on is a pain in the *** on our cars because it's under the dash.

Yeah I am getting deployed in less than 2 months so no telling what kind of car I will end up with when I get back. I thought about doing more to my car, like an S/C or turbo but I really think I want either a C6Z06 and another Fbody for a daily or a 09 +CTS-V. I got a year to decide. If I don't sell the Z06 before I leave, I may come back and do a 408 stroker with boost and call it a day.

My setup is whats in my sig, I havent even found ls6 intakes for 300 which is what I would consider normal going rate. Everyone wants 4-500 right now it seems. I dont have 300 for one though if I found one for 150-200 I might be able to swing that. I have been keeping my eyes open. I think I would gain massive amounts of power though through a good tune, as im way rich and the advance is setup up pretty much for a s/c it runs and drives ok but there is an easy 30-40hp being lost in the tune, and yes my intake is killing the setup. Wish I could have snagged the s/c when I bought the car. I would be a happy camper right now

Damn, I sold my last one for 325$. Jeremy Formato does great tuning, he may be able to do a street tune for you for fairly cheap; EFI Alchemy tuned my old Z28 and they did a great job with it, Doc charges 400$ for a basic car like yours

well i do have hp tuners and ill be honest I know a pro tune would be awesome but if I had 400 since my car is currently running ok id be way more inclined to spend it on stuff other than a tune and just try to learn more on using hp tuners. Idk i might break down and spend that money when I get a new intake.

A good tune is worth the $. Running it hard with a bad tune can put you in a world of other issues, im sure you know that. I learned the hard way, blew up a 73k mile car back in the day. I understand the $ thing. Just had to sell my dd for financial reasons.

It's got a RotoFab intake on it but that's it. Car is black. I figure if it's not too hot out I could pull a 13.5 but doubt I'll see anything better than that. Get rid of this baby *** panzy cam in the engine and some exhaust and tune should have 12.8s in it easy after that
