Default What gains should I see?

I just installed a ported FAST 78mm intake manifold and BBK 80mm throttle body on my 2002 Trans Am WS6. The only other upgrades I have on my car is exhaust, besides that it is stock. Here within the next week I am taking it to Kansas City to have it tuned and dyno-ed, I was just wondering what I might see? Thanks.

Maybe 10-12 maybe,, being the car was a 2002 it should have had the ls6 intake on it already, the fast wont shine over that as well as it does the LS1 intake

Yes I'm going to port the throttle body.

It had the LS6, I was just looking for a cheap gain in horsepower. I bought the whole unit (Intake, TB, Fuel rails, gaskets) from a friend, which he never installed, for $550.

^^^ i think orange was talkn about the intake snout. Not the TB. BBK TB arnt that great. Might want to port your stocker and run that.

Nice find on the intake.
