Default My LS6 intake gains.

With all mods in sig.

With LS1 intake 333 RWHP 344 lb. ft.

With LS6 intake 344 RWHP 348 lb. ft.

11 RWHP gain, 4 lb. ft.

Was running a tad lean, but tuning wasn't necessary or worth the money.

RMCR was having a BBQ and doing dyno runs

Buddie upgraded to a FAST 78 and hooked me up for working on his car before, he also is a good friend.

BTW, his numbers are about identical, but his comes into power earlier, he has 3.73's as well.

I don't see the FAST 78 being a gain over the LS6 with bolt-ons.

Our numbers are almost identical before LS6, and I bet my gain would be the same. That's about what I got out of my last ls6 on my cammed/geared/lt 99 Z.
