Would a LSX 90mm help in a turbo application?

Or will the air being forced into the intake make it irrelevant?

Same question also from Procharged cars?
Even if they already have LS6.

I think the stock TB should supply enough air, unless you're running more cubic inches..

I think that both the turbo and supercharged setups would benefit from a better intake.

Anything that helps airflow in a NA engine will also help in an FI engine.

supercharging supplies a set airflow and you will only gain efficiency; results will be minimal

if used on turbocharging, the wastegate will adjust the boost back up for the backpressure drop and give you the same thing as if you would have just not bought the intake and turned the boost up a psi or so.

lots of people are over 700 rw with the ls6 intake.. if your goal is to make less than that i would concentrate on other areas.

What about if your turbos are maxed out ? I have Incon twin 35s and will be maxing them out on a 9.1 built solid roller motor. What gains would I get ?

Aside from the poor tune, I went flatline after 5000RPM with an LS1 intake. With the ported LPE, I gained 25RWHP until 5000RPM, on average, and 40RWHP at 6200RPM on a Mustang dyno.

Same Boost, approximately same conditions.

Whatever that means...

less boost on the gauge, but no power gain

You knew the turbos were small when you bought the kit

Get some real turbos in there

I hope you do hit the nines with those turbos...its been done if I remember right, but all better be spot on. I would think they would peak at 5500 rpm or so...but I admittedly havent seen the maps.
