How much power left on the table?

I have a 1989 camaro with a LQ9/4L60E with a TSP 224 cam, longtube headers and a LS1 intake.

How much power do you think I am leaving on the table with the ls1 intake, considering my cubes and after market cam?

Quite a bit...25-30whp could be easily had with a Ported Fast.

Yes 10-15 from the LS6 is about all you'll gain

A friend with a 228/228 cam in a ls1 picked up 2 tenths in the 1/8th DA corrected switching from ls1 intake to ls6 intake. He tracks his runs and DA religiously.
