Default LS6 vs. LS1 intake flow
I did a quick search on this but only found comparisons of the LS6 and the fast intakes. I am installing a MS3 cam and UD pulley and wanted to know how much better the flow is on the LS6 intake. Money is an issue as this is a big job and then on top needs to be tuned, so is it worth the roughly $350 for a used one? Can anyone show dyno charts or at least give me first hand knowledge? Thanks!

ls1 - ls6 makes a solid and worthwhile difference. It will really make a world of difference once you cam the car.
