Default Gears Or LS6 Manifold

Help me spend some tax money. This is my car right now
Its a non track non daily driver. No i am not going to get a rear anytime soon, and i dont launch hard on the street.
98 Trans am
Stock heads
228R Cam
Volant style intake
long tubes
true duals
3.23 GU5
3400 Stall

I wanted to know what would give me better seat of the pants feel and better performance, gears or LS6 intake manifold. Just remember i have 3.23 gears.

LS6 intake will give about 15 HP. Gears helps you get your power faster thus giving you that SOP feeling. I did the gears first and felt a difference. Not so much when I swapped the intake. Just my personal experience.

Go with the 3:73's. Great seat of the pants feel & will shave a few 10ths from your ET on the track. Add the LS6 manifold with your next $$.
