Default Couple LS6 intake ?'s

I have a TR224/224 cam and ARH Long tubes waiting at home for me to install them. My first question is with those mods, how much will I gain by switching from the LS1 to the LS6? Also, if I install the other mods and get the car tuned, will I need to retune it again after switching the intake? I've already got an SLP CAI and LMII. Mostly just trying to figure out what order I want to do this in. Thanks.

get it all done at one time like Hugger said, plus add slightly larger injectors b4 tuning and you will be very pleased with your set up.

What these guys said. I have TSP T2 cam pkg, ls2 chain, ls6 intake, ls6 oil pump, and powerbond pulley sitting in my garage. Waiting for the Pacesetters LTs and a couple suspension mods then it's getter done time. Hoping to be around 400 rwhp.

Thanks for the replies, I didn't even think about injectors! What size would you say I should need? I was thinking 30#'s should do the trick. I don't see making much more than 400rwhp in this car anytime. I should be right about there after these mods.

Where can I get the 42# injectors at a good price. My usual vendors sell them for a lot more than the 30# peices. Also, I was looking at getting the Motorsport injectors, any other recommendations? I don't plan to do anymore work to the motor itself, but after I upgrade the clutch and rear end, a 100-150 shot is not out of the question. This is my daily driver, I don't want to do anything radical, mainly just looking for good power (~400rwhp) while still maintaining high reliability. Thanks again everyone.

Are the Delphi/Lucas injectors good for the LS1? Looks like I can get a set of them for around $275 What are considered to be the "best" injectors for the LS1?
