Default LS6+ PP TB= Happiness

Finally got my LS6 intake and Port polish TB on. It made such a large difference. It made a more noticable difference than the LT's and ORY.
Anyone thinking about doing this, i strongly suggest you do it.
car gets tuned tomarrow!

Had you done them in reverse order, you would have probably said the opposite. W/O the headers, the intake gains would be more modest and adding the headers would have felt huge to you.

FWIW, headers normally add more power than the intake. In any case good to hear your are happy with your mods.

I agree, I think if anything throttle response has increased a little too.

Cool! I'm really thinking the next thing for me is to have my TB worked over.

Let us know how the tune session goes.

as soon as I get my PTB TB I'll probably do the install and clean up my MAF before I do my LT's, though I'm tempted to do LT's then the TB and see what happens

As somebody said, it's quite possible that the headers, as the first mod, created the potential for the additional power, and the second mod, the intake, really opened it up. If he had done them in the reverse order, he might be saying exactly the opposite, that the intake didn't make a big difference, but that the headers were huge.

How was the LS6 install? Which one did you put in the EGR or non? That is my next mod also.
