Default Cam/Intake???

Hello, I have a 4th Gen A4 trans am ls1. Built 4l60 (stock converter), full exhaust done, tuned, Texas speed cam kit. My question is, I done the cam kit before I even touched my cold air and intake manifold. So with that being said am I missing a lot of power since I basically did the steps backwards?? I under stand a stall will get me good gains, that is my next step after I get intake.

What intake manifold do you have? Do you have the stock airbox and lid?

Swapping to an ls6 intake will gain you quite a bit. There arw a few parts youll need to adapt it but its not hard or expensive. We have the install kits. Everything swaps over so no need for an extras.

For the intake, we have the SLP LID which fits well flows well and look good. Up from there is the full on intakes such as the Volant and k&n etc.

WS6store pretty much nailed it. You got it breathing out good with the full exhaust, so now you need to get it to breath in better with the intake and lid.
