Did you guys feel a difference with a ls6 intake????
Im about to purchase one and was just wondering if its a noticeable difference. SLP's website said a gain of 15RWHP, I was thinkin if i did a ported TB as well that would be a pretty big gain if true. Any thoughts??

LS6 intake and headers work really well together. You should see a huge difference with it. In addition to the easier breathing with the LS6, you'll also realize some additional power from the headers that you're not currently taking advantage of. Don't know the exact numbers, I'd be curious to see a before and after dyno. My guess would be 20-25 rwhp.

The LS6 intake is a MUST DO mod if you ask me. The LS1 intake really robs your car of the air it needs to operate perfectly with the long tube headers!
It works so great with a ported TB and LT Headers. You'll notice a great gain!

I would say yes.. i don't have an LS6 intake, but reasoning would say LTs are letting it exhale much better, and that big ol' cam is trying its best to suck in air but its too damn restrictive. kinda like trying to breathe in a straw. I would say u will notice a bigger gain by letting all your parts breathe and work to their full potential

***-meter means nothing. It might even feel slower if you slap on an ls6 and ported tb and don't tune it. What matters is if the car actually IS faster. Run it at the track before hand and then run it again afterwards.

I don't know if ***-meter means NOTHING, SOTP improvements are always nice, but I agree a tune will definitely help and is pretty much required at the point you're at.
It's likely the stock intake is limiting the potential of your other mods, a lot of people have noticed this in similar situations, and they were surprised by the gains from an intake alone. Make sure you get that tune though to realize full potential.
