I know it looks good but did you see a HP gain?
is it worth the 400+ dollars?

look on ls1 tech and you can get them around 300-350..im gonna get me one payday..you have to have the fbody water pump and all the accessories and crank pulley, and you would need fuel rails that are return style for it and ls1 injectors and the bosch connectors

after a big cam AND all your boltons

now it has become known that you can simply swap to a L92 water pump and get by without having to swap your accessories

thats what i heard, just the water pump. i did not know about the fule rails and injectors.
i figured the ls6 intake was next since i'm a full bolt on and a cam(mild cam 212/218) plus it looks really good
what gains would i see with the Ls6 inkake?

little to none, it could even hurt your times or hp, with that baby cam stay with the truck intake. The swap could cost you any where from 500 to 1000 bucks, good luck.

for a mildly modded motor, don't bother. Its not nearly as complicated as some people make it out to be, but for your application the truck manifold is sufficient.
