Actually, we usually only see 5-6 hp from an LS6 intake on a car w/ this level of mods.

So the general concensus is 10-12 rwhp over the LS6??
Josh that is what it looks like to me!

Great job Thunder!!

I cant wait to see the 90mm on a aggressive HCI car that revs to 7Krpm


What is the pricing on these suckers? (90mm and Fast intake)

If reasonable they will sell like hotcakes!

anyone find it strange that this stock-cammed car hits it's peak past 6000 rpm ??

all the stock engine LS1 dynos I've ever seen peak at 5400-5500.

i would like to see testing on a car that is internally stock, like a 2000 but with the ls6 intake and see how much the lsx would gain over the ls6 intake over the ls1 intake. cuase if it only gets 7 rwhp with ls6 and 20 with lsx?! damn thats good. what colors do they come in? just that one that was posted? the bolt on motor, did that use the 78mm intake?

That's a pretty nice gain with that LSX intake, I might have to look into it further, I might go ahead and replace my LS6.

Yes, That's 20.3 horsepower & 17.5 torque!
WOW! That's the combo (similar to mine) I wanted to see ...I know that's over an LS1 intake and not the LS6 but still, crazy impressive gains there!

18.7 HP and 13.4 TQ if talking about peak numbers.
But those peak numbers are the spikes at the end of the graph.
