Will I need a different intake to make 450hp Hey everyone, here in the near future I'm planning on installing my cam once I acquire heads and supporting mods. I'm gonna run a Torquer V3, a set of P&P 243 heads and obviously all the parts to run these parts. I've got 1 7/8" LT already and 3" exhaust. I'm wondering if my stock TB and LS6 intake will move enough air to get me to 450 rwhp? If not my next investment will be a 102 Fast intake/tb.
For the sake of comparison (and I realize there's some variance with dyno numbers), however my setup put down 440/408 with PRC heads, 228/232 cam, ported FAST 92 and full bolt ons. M6 car on a dynojet.
I wouldn't expect you to see 450 rhwp with that combination (however it wouldn't be the first time I was surprised with these cars).

Well I'm probably just gonna get as close as i can to 450 with that. I'd be happy with 435ish. And Im going to keep the heads as cheap as i can. So that may hold me back a little. Is the work/cost worth trying to port an ls6 intake?

From what I've been reading once I hit 450-500 that's about all these motors will make stock displacement w/o spray or boost. So once I get a new intake on there my considerable hp gains will be done.

Someone on here made 452rwhp with an Si5 cam, PRC 2.5 5.3 heads & a fast90.

I would say very happy dynos! Not discrediting anyone's car but I'm sure they could go to the next dyno and only make 420 or 430. The more I read on here the more I'm leaning towards just getting a Fast and not even mess with the LS6. Looks like a lot of people run a ported fast 90 over the 102.
You can get 450-460rwhp from a stock headed stock intake LS6. Brian Tooley does it with no problem. If I had to do it all over again that's the route I would have went with.
