ls1 intake vs ls6 intake in boosted application Has anyone ever actually put a ls6 intake on a car made a dyno pull then put a LS1 intake on and made another pull or vice versa? Just curious how much of a difference there is when you putting 15+lbs of boost through the intake. I need to buy a new intake and i'm not sure if I should just spend $50 on a intake and turn the boost up a pound or spend $350 on a ls6 intake. The LS6 that was on my car helped make 1100+...what kinda difference could we be talking about 30-50rwhp? The junkyard turbo setup guys here are running ls1 intakes and having great luck with the ls1 intake but never switched out to see if there was a power increase....
I know my friends boost pressure dropped 3psi in the intake manifold when he swapped over on his D1SC car, so the LS6 definitely flows way more. He ended up having to repulley to get his boost back up
