Default Two new parts, estimated gain? Good Deal?

Just purchased an ls6 intake and ported throttle body for 330 shipped....





Good deal?

What gains should I see on an otherwise stock M6 ws6 except for catback? (estimated rwhp?) after a lid/volant?

Around 315-320rwhp with the ls6/ported throttlebody?

Probably won't install them until I save the money to buy hptuners to tune out the codes for EGR/AIR.

That's a good deal. You should see 15 or so HP over the LS1/non-ported setup. A lid/intake/exhaust car should make somewhere in the 330-340 hp range.

Considering I sold my LS6 intake on here for $325 and my LPE ported TB for $125.....you got a good deal. You should easily see a 15-20hp gain and possibly a bit more depending on tuning. Seems like every LS1 reacts a bit differently when like parts are added to them. I hope it works out well for you.

Just got the parts, they look good! Gonna install the throttlebody(has the bumpstop shaved too) sometime this week. LS6 is gonna wait until I buy hptuners to tune out the EGR.
