Performance of Stock LS3 Intake?

How much power are the ls3 intakes good for?
I got a stock ls1 intake and know it's not enough for my 6.0 (stock pistons)...so i was thinking of getting an ls3 intake rails and injectors and putting them on l92s milled .030". How well would that combo perform? They can't be that great, all the 2010 owners are taking them off already lol.

Thanks guys and gals

Seems to be hard to make much more power than the stock ls3 intake if i were u i'd do milled cnc l92 with hollow intakes and use a tall single plane like cary's thats the way to go and do a 4150 tb, u got alot more room under the hood in a 3rd gen

Simply put how much rwhp have people made on ls3 intakes?

The LS3 intake performs very well. The FAST 102 has a hard time beating it until you get into bigger cubes. Lots of LS3's in the 500 whp range on the stock intake. As for porting it? I've read a TON of mixed opinions and have as of yet to see a back to back dyno test on same car, same cam etc that proved gains.
