Just wondering if it is worth it to run a ls6 intake manifold vs my truck manifold with my set up..

With forced induction, the intake manifold will make very little difference. Even if you moved to a FAST manifold, you'd see very little change.

Take it from someone that tried it and don't do it. Even for NA the gains were minimal if any. Looked good though.

If this turns out to be for cathedral ports(We dont knwo yet), you could look into the FAST Truck style intake.

That FAST intake is a sweet looking piece for sure

IIRC, txsilverado only gained a tenth or two from his LS6 intake swap, and others have reported the same minimal gains, not worth the trouble IMO.
