ls6 intake or cams just as the title. i was going to order the intake this week but just thought i would ask what i should get first. either the ls6 intake and p&p tb or if i should just get a set of cams? my original plan was to get the intake and tb and do heads and cams in the winter. thanks for the opinions
id go with ls6 intake......your car does not have a "set of cams". it only has one cam. and if ya dont know that, then, well i dont think you have any business swapping your cam out for a bigger one if you dont know much about your car.
plus, you generally do all the bolt-ons and then put a cam in afterward. after the intake and tb, youre next move should be a bigger cam, and then a tune.

Changing the cam could make your car sound a lot cooler and give it that choppy idle sound depending on what cam you choose. I have not done my intake yet but I think the intake swap would be a more simple job to do. Just my 2 cents.

check my page 6 for an idea of cam swap maybe brush up in the ls motor with page 6 & 7! But I would say a cam would wake her up real good, then check to see if its got a ls6 intake manifold already if not then get one

I don't quite understand this question ^^^
Do you mean how do you tell if you have an LS6 intake? Or what will the difference feel like? It'll pull harder to redline and up in the RPM range. My advice is do a ported and polished throttle body while you are doing the intake, one compliments the other IMO.
Don't worry about the cam thing, years ago I came from DOHC cars before the f-body, and had no idea wtf pushrods, rocker arms, or any of that **** was

A great tell is if it has EGR. If it doesn't, there's a 99% chance it IS an LS6 intake. The other 1% chance is that someone replaced it with an LS1 intake from a corvette (AFAIK they didn't have EGR on their intakes, at least my friend's doesn't and it's NOT an LS6 intake). You can also get the part number from the passenger side and either google it or search here, that's what I did. Good luck.

if your car was an 01 or 02 t/a theres a 100% chance its got an LS6 intake, but if you bought the car with no visible mods and it being a 99, id say you dont have one, a 99% chance you dont have one.
