ported or unported LS6 intake? I hope this is the right place to post this...
Anyways, I was just reading about a ported LS6 intake....
who can do that for us when/if we order an LS6 intake soon... (kinda low on the cash
)
Anyways.... what kind of gains are we talking about, and I also heard its kinda pricey..... Any info??

Someone once said a Cartek ported LS6 was worth ~7rwhp over stock.
The porting should pick up some cfm so my guess would be 5-8 rwhp with a ported LS6 intake.
BTW - Absolute offers a 78mm TB and 80mm TB. Absolute can port the snout of an LS6 so you can use the bigger TB to best advantage. Absolute also can port the intake.

i havent been convinced that porting the ls6 intake is worth the money. from the cost of a ls6 intake and porting you could get an ls6, which although the results have been kinda varying, has still proven to provide decent gains
I am waiting on mine as well from Jay. What sold me is he ports the intake to match the heads for the best flow. He will also flow the new heads with the ported intake to get real numbers on your individual setup. And I chose to get the 78mm tb as well as it is port matched to the intake. You know what they say about having performance parts that work together. I think this should do that indeed.
