This is a nobrainer decision......long tubes all the way for power....then get LS6 intake.......now the car can breathe for the cam....then the heads.

cheers....and good luck.....

FWIW I spoke to a couple guys running shorties with stage I heads/cam that were at ~380 rwhp in a M6.
Are you trying to show how much shorties are holding them back?

At least Mac mid-lengths! Shorties have been proven to produce very little hp gain over stock manifolds.

I too am at the same point here. My next mod is either shorties or LS6 intake manifold. What would be more power under the curve? I am not much into peak power, I want usable power. (I know LTs are better, but all you guys have 2nd cars to drive around in, and this is my sole source of transportation. When I can afford a 2nd car, I will make mine an all out race car....eventually )

prep your car then if you are going to mod the **** out of it later get the intake now. if you get shorties and then later wanna mod the **** out of the shorties will be in your way and the intake will only give you more results as you mod your car...
