Intake manifold question
Intake manifold question This would be my last bolt on item.The question is would spending the 500$ on the ls6 intake(to replace the ls1) be worth it??It says it claims 15 HP.Any of you guys notice a difference off the line or from a roll with this intake.Do you need a cam to really make it work.

I don't have any track times before the LS6, but I could definitely tell a difference after i put it on. Nothing life changing, haha, but it was definitely there, mostly after around 4500 rpm. I thought it was worth the $500 IMO... 
I was just rounding off with shipping and taxes.What company to you recommened for the fast 78.I will for sure buy one at that price.
What is the difference between the ls6 and the fast 78.Is it the HP rating

Verdad Gallardo I got mine from summit, I did alot of price matching, back and forth, I used to deal in aftermarket parts, so I know how much mark up there is, it is unbelieveable, I would suggest checking the sponcers first.
I would opt for a LS6 over a FAST 78.

Don't just look at the peak numbers, check out the area under the curve. The LS6 has about as much HP under the curve as the FAST 90 with a TPIS throttle body, and more torque.

I got my ls6 here for 150. Not a huge power difference except that it moved the powerband up higher. It used to drop off after 5 grand, now with the ls6 it keeps pulling hard till redline. Well worth it.
