Gains from LS6 intake vs LS1 in terms of MPH
Just curious to see what kinds of gains are seen in MPH & HP from switching intakes. I figure it will highly depend on mods ect.....but lets asume were going from bone stock LS1 with LS1 intake to LS6 intake.
How many MPH would be added to a trap and how much HP is typically gained.
#Would also be interested in the comparisons in the same format for LS1 to FAST.

I just happen to have one that came off my WS6 forsale if your interested. As far as bolt on power maybe 15-25 hp. MPH is hard to tell since if your stock you still have the rev limiter hooked up. I also have some LS6 heads too.

15-25hp is the first estimate....I would love to see maybe a comparison by timeslip. A set of runs where only the intake was changed. I am searching now.....
PM me on intake.

My setup is actually in my sig plus a 100 shot. Still on street tires so time doesn't change much. Trap gains 6mph to 115 when spraying. Since mine is a 98, the intake is stalling me a little. Not near as much as the tires I know, but the point of this thread is mostly to get an idea of the gains I will aquire by adding the better LS6 intake.
With spray maybe 116-117MPH trap?

^ Like I said above, I think the intake is slowing the car down a little. The 115mph is the fastest I have had with an LS1 intake. I have good headers, 1 7/8's open, so the addition of the intake should complete the breathing of motor to the best of it's ability.
My best time was w/o the NOS BTW.....with a 109mph trap. 12.69
Keep in mind I have LT's, Lid, and stall ONLY. No tune, no timming pulled yet, nothing.
A 115MPH trap in these cars can net mid 11's when you get the power to the ground. I'd say maybe your SS was capable of a little better. Still have room on my 60ft as well @ 1.8

I actually just made the swap and all I have additionally is a cat back and a few other smaller things done to my car. I'm heading to the track here within the next couple weeks and I'll be able to post a change in trap speeds for my a4 with just a ls1/ls1 intake swap with a catback.
im curious myself to find out the real difference it made.
