With a LS6 intake, What kind of gains can i see as far as 1/4 mile performance?


and maybe with a tune after the intake?


I heard with a tune, the way its sits right now, i can pick up 2 tenths and 2mph

Thank you for your time!

My guess would be a good 30Ponies from the Tune & intake. Give or take a few.

You should gain 10-15rwhp 15-20rwtq from the ls6 intake. Add another 20rwhp and 30rwtq for the tune. I know of a guy that just picked up 12rwhp and 2Xrwtq from a tune on his basically stock car. You being with headers and stuff should pick up a good bit more.

I wouldn't be that optimistic, that would be saying that with just a bolt on car he would be putting almost 360rwhp and 390rwtq, there is no way with his mods.... I would guess what WS6Man2000 said and say 15rwhp or a little more depending on the tune

I would say save your money unless the tune is free. But the ls6 intake would be a good investment.

I'd definitely say you will pick up some tuned. I really couldnt tell a difference when I switched mine, but it hasnt been tuned yet.

i picked up 1.5mph in the 1/4 after my intake and tune. im in high elevation here in vegas so im guessing you'll get a solid 2mph or 15-20rwhp.
