Default quick questions

I just had a couple of quick questions. Does anyone know the increase in hp or torque from doing a tb spacer and e-fans mod and also how much of and increase would a zo6 intake manifold do if anything?
thanks

Depending on the company they should state the increase in HP&TQ and most times thats at the crank. But from what I read a TB Space is about 5 hp and E-fans about 17-20 hp depending on the size and the LS6 or ZO6 intake thats a good Question??? I don't know whats Mods would you have to do to make it work but If it did I think I read it's about 30 hp

unless you are a higher reving motor you dont need the LS6. i do personally have it. i just made my truck motor a car setup. there are ways of making it work i chose this way. easiest and cheapest for me

but it is time consuming to make the wiring harness nice and neat

Like Quick mentioned, the LS6 intake wont do anything positive on your stock motor the stock truck intake is just as good. For as the TB spacer wont to anything in performance gains. The efans bring about 5-10HP at best.

From what i understood from Texas Speed And Performance , The truck intake flows better than the LS6 intake i could be wrong but i believe that's what they told me. Also TB spacers are kind of a ghost mod, They work for some not for all..

the truck intake does not flow nearly as well as the LS6 manifold especially when approaching 6000 rpm, you run out of air
