Look at the lexus is-350. Some people put aftermarket intakes on and LOSE power. Motors are going to be coming higher and higher optimized from the factory in the future. bolt ons are going to become very limited for these motors.
I did some small bolt ons for my 2007 GXP (LS4) and it didn't wake up at all...read their forum sometime, those poor folks are grasping at straws short of forced induction as well.

They must have forgotten to downshift if you are pulling them that hard. Are you sure you raced a v-8? The v-6 cars look almost identical to someone who isnt very familiar with the cars.

The real question here should be as to why you bought an ls6 intake when your car all ready comes with one?....someone took you for a ride.

There is no way unless they didnt know you were racing that you are "Raping" V-8 cars. Your car if your lucky is making 340's at the wheels..
