I know the ls6 intake is way better than my stock ls1, but I found an ls6 intake that comes with an ls6 throttle body and fuel rail and injectors, are ls6 throttle bodies and fuel injectors better or even diff from stock ls1, if so would it be better if i could get those items with the intake as well. guys selling it package deal thing

The LS6 throttle body is drive by wire. If you have a Camaro/Firebird, you cannot use it.

The LS6 injectors are the same as the 97-99 and 01-04 LS1 injectors.

It would help if we knew what car you had...

thanks for the reply, im new with ls1s, im use to lt1s i have a 98 ta
would an ls6 be a noticeable improvement?

You'll see ~10hp improvement on a stock engine.

And no EGR- the '01-'02 cars used a different cam, actually the truck cam, with more overlap and no need for EGR.

Only worth it if you can get it cheap enough.

Pick it up. Also worth mentioning would be to get a good LID or Ramair as well as a nice free flowing exhaust.

hot936spd

already have a lid, and long tubes, and a high flow cat. just wondering if it would be worth it, i found a set of ls6 heads for around the same price

The LS6 heads are where the real magic is- sodium filled valves, yellow springs, better breathing. Add the LS6 cam, and it was good for 405 HP stock from the factory.

I have 2 out of three, and am just a little jealous.

I was told I have a ls6 cam how can i tell?? is there anyway of to find out.

Wild Willy

Short of tearing it down and checking part numbers, I don't know. Easy to find the specs on it- try a dyno, and see if it is putting out above-normal power?

Marc 85Z28

By whom? And why would they tell you that?

Easiest way to find out if the cam is stock is to remove a valve cover and put a dial indicator on one of the rockers. Measure the valve movement. It won't tell you if you have an LS6 cam for sure, but it will tell you if removing the timing cover is worthwhile.

if you can get 243 heads for 300ish dollars, id jump on that for sure. Seeing how ls6 intakes usually go for 300shipped.

I don't have time to pull the info right now, but do a search. LS1 and LS6 injectors are not the same size for all of those years. The '99 LS1 had smaller injectors than the LS6 which got a little more RHWP out of the LS1. I've got an LS6 swap in my '98, and can confirm that the '98 LS1 injectors are the same size as the '02-'04 LS6, but I do know the '99's aren't.
