LS6 vs. Holley Intake I'm getting Comps 224/224 114 .563/.563 cam installed in my car soon. I'm also considering switching the intake as well. Will I see any real performance gains with the LS6 or Holley intake over the stock LS1 intake? Also is the Holley really worth the extra price over the LS6 intake?
Re: LS6 vs. Holley Intake I have that same cam it's very nice. You will see some more performance from an intake upgrade. The Holley intake will hold too much heat in, it is a nice intake but, the LS6 intake will do the same thing. It wont hold as much heat do to the type of plastic it is made out of. It will be lighter and you will save money.

Re: LS6 vs. Holley Intake With the LS6 intake you will see a few extra HP.. The Holley is good if your going to do direct port nitrous...... If not then the LS6 is the way to go.
One of the sponsors have the LS6 for 399.00 also SLP has a moded one for 465.00

Commented on another thread that the Holley when ported showed gains of, correct me if I am wrong Ed, 10-15hp over the LS6.
If your looking to get every bit out of your combo the Holley is the way to go. A
As far as and aluminum retaining heat, well aluminum intakes have been used on SBC's for years. I don't think the temperature gain from the inlet of the intake to the exit is going to be that much. Just needs to be tuned to work with that intake IMHO.
Just my .02

Just playing, the other guys have said it all. Holley if you are going to port it/LS6 if not.
