Question RPM range for the LS6 mainifold?

Can anyone tell me what the RPM range is for the LS6 intake manifold? Will I be okay with a TSP Magic Stick cam that peaks around 6400 rpm's?

it will be fine. You could go with the 90/90 but without heads...the LS6 will be just fine.

did you notice when you put the intake in, did your engine run hotter?

Mine car is an 02 SS, so it already has the LS6 manifold. I did notice my car running a little warmer when I had the LT's put on though.

Are the headers coated if so they should be dropping the temp. Also 6400 is not out of the ls6's range.

Taking off the coolant line, at least I think that is what it is, under the intake and putting the smaller line that comes with the LS6 intake that doesn't run to the back of the block, would that make it run hot?
