Default LS6 Slp intake.

I recently installed the LS6 SLP intake in my 2000 Trans am and I noticed a difference in fuel consumption. Is this Normal or is it just in my head? I checked for leaks on injectors but they all look good.
Only thing i have on is a lid.

You are probably using your right foot more !!! The PCM could take several driving cycles before it re-learns/calibrates for that intake.

You are welcome! These intakes seal up pretty damn good, should not have any leaks as long as you made the vacuum connections at the back and to the pcv fittings. Your idle would probably hang if you had one and if it were a big leak, you would definitely know and possibly throw a check engine light.

Did you calculate your gas mileage before and after the intake swap? I usually check mpg before and after mods to see if there are any real changes.
