Default 18 rwhp too much to ask.....

from LS6 intake and tuning?My goal was 370+ rwhp from the LS6 cam,being that I didn't gain much peak from my Macs(9rwhp) that leaves me wanting alot from the intake and tuning.Can it be done?

I think 18rwhp is easily obtainable adding an ls6 intake and tuning. Intake should be good for 5-10rwhp, and tuning should be good for 15-20rwhp.

I wouldn't imagine 18 RWHP would be much of a problem with an LS6 intake and tuning.

Good luck!

What is your A/F ratio like now? I agree 18rwhp should be easily there with the LS6 intake and tuning.

With tuning on the MACs alone you should gain at least 12RWHP without an LS6 intake. I think you will be up 30RWHP when all is done
