LS1intake versus LS6
LS1intake versus LS6 what is the difference ,how much more hp,air etc. will i gain any noticable sop is it worth it and what is a good price for one, or is it better to go aftermarket like a fast etc.
But anyways, there is a SOTP feel. HP gains is roughly 10-15 RWHP. Flows alot better than the LS1. A ported throttle body is great when matched up to it. Good price is between $300 - $350. That's the going rate for a used LS6 intake in good condition. Step up to the FAST 90 if you going with heads/cam or a huge cam in a cam only setup.
Your not gonna feel any difference if all you do is change the intake from a LS1 to a LS6. Even if you gain 15 RWHP, which is at the high end (most gain 5-10 RWHP) your not really gonna feel that unless you tune at the same time or something. I gained 6 RWHP from my LS6 swap. Is it worth it, YES, but don't expect to any huge improvements or you might be pissed lol.
Well, we installed mine last night, and yeah, I can feel a definate difference. Here are some side by side shots...
