Post Would it be worth putting a LS6 intake on my car?

I have found a place where I can get this intake fairly cheap, is it worth it? Also what about going from 3.23's to 3.42's? Any ideas and opinions would be great.

your not going gain much by switching over to the ls6 intake on a stock engine... you'll have to deal with removing the egr too.

going from 3.23's to 3.42's doesn't seem worth the hassle..

I think you should get a higher stall speed torque converter.. now which one to get is a another argument all in itself! good luck!

you'll gain some top end, maybe 10 hp. Not the best bang-for-your-buck mod, but every little bit helps.

I noticed some improvement in my ET's and trap speed with it.

Match it to some 6.0 liter ported heads, and it makes a great combo.
