Default ? about ls1 and ls6 intake performance

Well i have the following mods right now

226/226 .575/.575 112lsa+4 F4 cam
hardened rods, springs, chain etc. to support the cam
asp pulley
slp maf
tsp true duals
smooth bellow
lid
Lt's
tr55 plugs

i went added and bit the bullet and ordered a wet nitrous kit instead of a ls6 intake so my ? do you think and ls6 will make that big of a difference? im getting one in the future its just i need to get my car tunned asap and im not to worried about it now....what do you guys think?

I would go to a colder plug like a TR6. Upgrade my fuel pump. And bite the bullet and get the LS6 intake. Just my .02

You'll see higher #s out of the nitrous system alone, but the LS6 or FAST intake isnt a bad idea in the future. Especially with a cam and possibly heads in the future...?

Agreed on going colder plugs and upgrading the pump, tho.

I think it really does not matter what order you getthem in but you do need toget the ls6. i had the ls6 with the ported tb and then went to the fast 90/90 and i seen a 3 hp gain to the wheels so I took a small loss and sold those and went back to my ls6 and ported tb although the fast products do look alot nice
