Absolutely, my TR224 cam gained nicely with the LS6 swap. I installed the intake and u/d pulley at the same time and gained almost 3 mph 1/4mi. trap speeds. I contribute most of the gains to the intake.
Went from 113.5mph to 116.36mph.
Good luck.

I might of had some clutch slip at the time but I really saw no gain,as a matter of fact my low ET was with a stocker on the car in warmer temps.This spring I can gonzo it at the starting line with the clutch/driveshaft/12 bolt combo so things may change.3 mph from a pulley and intake is..................... .
