ls6 horse power.is it worth it? I know with heads cam youn can make great gains switching to the ls6 intake, but what if you just have LT ory lid loudmouth.How much would Igain or should I just wait till I get more mods before doing so
I had great gains at 4000+. Definatly worth the money.
There will be people who are going to chime in and say "go ahead and get the fast 90/90 so you don't have to get it later", but don't listen to them.
You can ALWAYS sell an LS6 intake for about as much as you paid for it as long as you buy it used. Check the for sale section, or post up in the "parts wanted" section. I would not pay more than $300-350 shipped for one.

It is worth buying new from SLP online. Its $399, you dont run the risk of getting a scratched up piece, it comes with the coolant line kit ($60) which you need anyways. If you bought a used one for $350 you would have to get that kit and now your up to $410 and you have a used intake.

Thanks for all the replies,will there be a seet of the pants feeling with getting getting it with my mods or will I not really notice it (by the way I also have a TCI 3500-3800 stall if that makes a difference).
thanks again

thanks again

I dynoed my car, and after we were done I changed the intake to the LS6 while it sat on the dyno. 30 or so minutes later we dynoed it again and it picked up 35 RWHP with no other changes.
