LS6 Intake on 5.3

Kano gained 2.5mph, with similar track conditions. Not to mention, it dropped him down a tenth to the 60' and he had to come out of the hole off idle as opposed to before, where he would stall the converter up.
Reaper with his H/C 5.3L, said to me after the swap, "It feels like I gained 50HP at every RPM."
BlackSheep also had tremendous gains back in the day.
Then, you have the countless dyno graphs that flatline at 5500-5900RPM, meaning no more power gain. The LS6 intake can make peak HP at 6200-6400 RPM.
I guess once BlueCajun starts running 12.2s in his cammed 5.3L, some of you might realizing that the truck intake is a restriction.

The stock manifolds have made some quite impressive time slips here so in other words dont fix it if it aint broken. You should just sell the LS6 intake on ls1tech, but if your still wanting to do the swap do a search and you will find some good info.
Too much info and now 
about the whole thing!! I was going to start the mods in October(after the wifes B-day on the 26th) and get this thing rolling.Thanks, James

my hp flatlines @ 6k, also many others with 5.3's with similar mods are experiencing the same thing.
we'll see if it's worth it in 3 or 4 months from now.
