ls6 vs ls1 intake boosted And body do a Boosted app then dyno it then put a ls6 intake and dyno? How much of a gain is there from just going to a ls6 intake? I feeling this might be another soon to be mod.

not always
if you can't flow anymore w/ the old manifold, tuning gets you now where <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">
upper RPM is the thing to look at

yes, but see the dip in the bottom curve at about 4200 there's your adjustment.
there are no changes in the advance in the part of the curve where the manifold comes into play.
I have the logs to show the increase in flow from the manifold <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">

Re: ls6 vs ls1 intake boosted oh dont doubt the flow of the intake...escpecially in an FI app. but if i had $400 and a barely idling, non-tuned twin turbo, the PCM would already be in the mail.

Re: ls6 vs ls1 intake boosted Since my engine is already out of the car, I'm getting a used LS6 intake just for convenience sake, figuring it's easier now than later, and an ything that will help flow better will decrease boost a bit and save my engine... I'm getting the PCM done as well, once everything else is together in the car.
Also, doesn't something need to be ground down to allow the LS6 intake to fit?

Re: ls6 vs ls1 intake boosted yes steve, stock heads and cam
detonation kills motors. the increase in cylinder pressure from detonation is what lifts the heads and pops gaskets. extreme boost will do it, but then you have other worries.
