Id get the LS6- If your planning heads/cam work, its worth the money.
otherwise 10hp ~$465 <img border="0" alt="[boring]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_zzz.gif" />

When I installed my LS6 intake it was a bolt on car. I didn't see any definitive gain at the track, unlike many of the other bolt mods I had done. Based on what others have said, you should see 10-15 hp w/ heads/cam.
