Default 78mm Fast Intake Gain?

What gains are you looking at on a Heads/Cam Automatic? Is it even worth the switch? Anyone have a Dyno graph I can look at?

Thanks

There was a guy here who lost power with a H/C setup when he switched from the LS6 to the LSX 78 mm.

If you are going to switch, I would suggest getting the 90mm ones (if your engine can support one that big). If you have LS6 intake, I would not recommend a switch, too much money for little gain. I am looking at the LS2 intake manifold myself.

I think the dynometer forum would be a better bet to get it though.

What are the specs of the f13 cam, my memory says that cam is middle range?

(not as big as the t-rex, bigger than the LS6)

The 90mm should get you some nice gains over the LS6, prob like 15 with the TB. Your H/C would like it (just remember to get it retuned )

For the money though, you could probably spend it on something a lot better.
