Default New LS6 and P/P TB

WOW! I cant believe the difference.

I know there are a lot of threads out there right now on the subject but I just had to post that the difference is amazing for a bolt on and just a little grinding.

If anybody else is out there who are considering it but are not sure.. save your pennies and get it!

Thanks All

Sweet deal man!

I noticed a difference in my tune.. the numbers mostly. But the huge difference was on a roll from 55. Went WOT and it just pulled! Pulled faster and harder and really throwed me in the seat. Normally it would shift from 2nd to 3rd at about 80 mph. Now! it didnt shift from 2nd to third untill 87mph. So it deffinately got up and moved in the upper rpms thats for sure!

I deffinately need to start saving for a head and cam deal now because im addicted now.

Thanks!

a LS6 int mani and a p&p t/b should offer up some excellent throttle response, great off idle power, and some solid top end pull, very nice upgrade over the LS1 piece

Also! BE sure to check your knock sensors... Even though they might not be throwing a code.. I checked mine and the front is rusted as all hell.. Ive been having a problem with knock and when i put 2 new ones in.. no more knock so.. check them.. if you have miles on your engine like me.. replace them!

Thanks!
