Wish there were more comparisons between the truck manifold and the LS6. Especially ported truck manifolds. There appears to be many ristrictions inside that thing. From my understanding though, the power drops off around 6K with the truck mani though while the LS6 keeps making steam.

Honestly I wouldn't since you already have it.

Yes it could be, the only problem I can see is the 78mm stock throttle body. Even opened up by porting it I can't see it getting any bigger than 85mm where as I'm sure he has a 92-96mm throttle body on it now.

Actually I have a 90mm t-body right now, but still, point well taken.

Honestly, if I were to do anything, I'd open up my exhaust and swap out the 1 3/4" headers for 1 7/8".

Dang man, you could probably see a 15-25rwhp gain easily with a set of good 1 7/8" headers.

What do you have now? ARH, Kooks? Knowing you it's gonna be something quality already...
