well i noticed a gain when i went from a ls1 to a ls6 intake and my car is currently stock with just a lid, shifter, and slp bellow. It pulled the same down low but really picked up on top, and after 5k rpm, the car is noticeably louder (in a good way 
)

You peoples butt dynos must be very sensitive. I almost never feel a gain with any mod 
. Only thing I've felt on my z06 was the cam swap (only felt any positive change from 4000-up). Didnt even feel the headers and ORY on the trans am.

the gain is very slight, we are talking 8 hp up top so if you can feel 8 hp then yes you will, for me ity normally takes much more then that to really say OH yeah !! that helped. i have a dyno chart of before and after between a ls1 and ls6 intake as well as testing other TB and intakes on a LS1 if you want to see the gain under the curve.

I noticed alot from my headers and ory. They really woke the car up. I just put the LS6 intake on. Have to wait for the roads to get nice to drive the car again. Hope I'll notice the LS6.

When I installed an ls6 on one of my old cars I didnt notice much of an increase in power below 3500 rpms but it seemed like in the 4,000 rpms and higher the car woke up some. It seemed like it pulled harder and oddly enough it seemed as though it pulled through the upper rpm revs fast....who knows
