ls1-->ls6 intake?
Im about to purchase a 00-Z28, and was thinking of buying an ls6 intake for it. My question is, should I be able to actually feel the diffrence by swaping intakes? Its a 6speed/full exhaust/cam.

I've heard that there is a "SOTP" gain, but couldn't tell you for sure. I'm swapping mine for an LS6 too, but also adding heads and getting a dyno tune. So I think I might feel a difference

I just recently got my ls6 intake, I have a 2000 WS6 A4 with full exaust long tube headers off road y pipe and corsa. To tell you the truth I only felt a real gain on the high end but it pulls alot harder to redline. Just normal driving I can't tell

i have mods in sig with an ls1 intake and EGR delete. made @ 375 to the wheels with that little old 224r. an ls6 intake might be slightly better. but as of now i can't see spending the money on one. not till i do heads at least.

Honestly, the more you have done, the more the ls6 intake will outperform the ls1. For reference, i was at heads/cam with an ls1 intake, car maxed at 423. swapped to ls6 and upgraded injectors, car made 452. It's a worthwhile mod for the price you're paying.

With your mods I would expect 15-20Rwhp gain..
I am full weight and shooting for 7.1s @ 94mph next track visit.. 228 cam ported/milled 5.3s kooks LT/ory...
Only dyno 375Rwhp but the performance speaks for itself.. ls6 will take you quite a little ways, especially for the money.
The FAST intake setup doesn't start REALLY showing major gains until after 5800 RPMs over the ls6 intake anyways.
