I read through the LS1/6 intake swap article and i'm not sure if I would want to put that much work into a new intake.(i'm lazy, yes I know haha). If I were to bring my intake to a shop and have it ported would I be able to get close to the flow of an LS1/6 or are the LS4 intakes just that bad?

 

Some say you'll see an improvement over stock, and some say its a waste of time and money. It won't flow what an ls1/6 flows though. There's not a bottle neck in those intake like the ls4.

 

Thanks man, basically the info I was looking for. Well I guess i'll just have to roll my sleeves up maybe this summer and do it haha. Or pay a mechanic buddy of mine to do it haha.

 

Save your pennies for the LS6.

 

I have seen a good improvement in performance

 

But then there is always going to be that "what if I would have factor" You could have trippled your gains Mel. Just say'in

 

Exactly...I mean for the money one would pay for a intake port they could buy a ls1/6 intake and probably get that vlom re-done

 

Here we go again. Unless you get rid of the restriction that is the pinched neck. There will be NO worth while gains except the financial gain if your porter. Though your *** dyno may be feeling the gobs of extra power...they are like mantei teo's girl friend...its nice to think they exist but everyone else is laughing because we know its make believe.

 

 

Garage is empty, add now.

So you speak out of experience or opinion?

I know Mel, pretty sure he wouldn't be BS'ing about something of this nature.

I agree, LS6 mani is moreso worth the money though, especially when putting all costs into consideration.

 

Because you know somebody is irrelevant and so is trying to call someone out because they enforced what the community already knows. Ls4 Intakes will always have the issue of the tb neck you can hog the **** out of it all day along but it all comes down to feeding the motor with something almost half the size of the tb. There is no debating that fact.

 

True but you can still improve on what is already there with a little porting or are you that closed minded. And you do have to admit it looks FA

 

Lol showoff! Now hurry up and cam it so you can paint the block and everything else

 

I have been thinking about a cam what do you think I should get?
