He listed a chart that showed the diff between a LS1/LS6 intake on LS1/LS6 heads. These were ported combos, on a 1998 camaro 6 speed, Lunati 222/230 cam,1-3/4 LT headers, no cats, cat back the ported heads had 2.055/1.60 valves
Cyl Head Intake HP TQ
LS1 LS1 406 393
LS1 LS6 423 405
LS6 LS1 413 400
LS6 LS6 435 416
Although this was not your race, nor power output, it gives a good ref to what a LS6 intake can do on the same car.

yea so is worth purchasing one?? i mean if im barely losing to a car with an ls6 intake they i heard there supposed to be one of the best intake, then its not worth it
Its def worth it, another option is a Fast 90/90 setup but thats with cars making serious power. LS6 is much cheaper as well.
As for your race, too many varibles no one knows for sure why the race went that way. I raced a car that is fast, like 100 rwhp more then me. All I had was M/T ET street radials, thats it, I was a lil heavier from a 20 mph roll, he has regular street tires and tried to go from 2nd where as I raced from 1st, I was winning till 4th then he blew by me, just the gearing diff and that I am a better driver gave him a run for his money.

I think its worth it. I just picked one up a few days ago. Sorry, I cant give any data yet.
