Re: Will an LS6 intake make that much of a difference? WIth your cam and headers, it is the next bottleneck in the system. Remember, the more mods you have done, the more of a restriction the stock intake becomes. With that combo, you should see at least 10-15 RWHP. If you plan on doing heads later, it is a must...

Re: Will an LS6 intake make that much of a difference? wassuppp Stu!
I just put mine on yesterday and now im going out to bolt up my custom made EGR blockoff plates and AIR plates <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
with any cam its a must I would say! I read on here where one guy with a vig3200 and a small cam picked up 25hp after the intake. Ill be happy with a solid 15hp gain <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
I got mine from SLP for 399. Comes with coolant line and everything you need. Non EGR also <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Will an LS6 intake make that much of a difference? Wierd, they only have it listed under 1997-2000 C-5's: http://www.slponline.com/view_produc...RTNUMBER=30039
Its $465 for the 1998-2000 Camaro/Firebird LS-6 Intake:

Also, how are you guys going about blocking off the EGR hole on the intake? I'd rather it just not be there and block off the EGR pipe.

Re: Will an LS6 intake make that much of a difference? yes it is listed under the C5 product, you dont want the EGR if you are blocking it anyway (and it cost a lot more). go with teh "C5" part = the 2001 + F-body product.

Will an LS6 intake make that much of a difference? I have a 98Z, 3580 lb raceweight, with a TR224/563 cam, MAC's with ORP, cutout, Whisper lid, and ported MAF.
I turn consistent mid twelves at 111 MPH on 1.9 60's.
Will a LS6 intake be worth the amount of money I gotta pay for it? Can I expect to see a MPH or two?
Thanks, Stu
