Ls6 intake worth the $
Ls6 intake worth the $ Looking to swap out my Ls1 intake for the Ls6 my question is for the gain in HP is it worth the cost. So far all im seeing is the normal ebay garbage 350-500$ ie I hate the auction crap haha, so is it worth it or should I go another route?
Thanks for all the replies now is there anything more I would need to know before purchasing. Is it a straight swap or would I need anything extra to along with it? ie fuel rails, tb anything like that I should know about?

Remember when installing the intake to look out for the oil pressure sensor. It's located at the driver side rear end at the very back of the engine. From my research it is common to break these. I just recently installed my FAST 90 on an broke mine off at the base. Easy fix just had to take off the intake again to do it.
That's a drag you broke it off just more work to do, but thanks for the warning I will be sure to watch for it. By shaving off do you mean all the crossed plastic lines on the bottom?
Nice I will probably go with a driemel see how clogged I can get that thing ha before I take out the hammer and chisel. Thanks Bluebird

I am also interested in buying an LS6 for my 1999 Camaro SS.
Other than the actual intake manifold, what other parts are needed for the swap? How much to expect to pay for these additional parts?
Do you require a tune after installing the LS6?

You need to change your coolant lines to the ls6 front coolant lines and rear block off plugs no tune is required after installation other then removing the egr if you don't have it then it's no problem
I kept my LS1 lines unto I switched to a FAST.
