Default ls6 with 3600

So guys im changing the cam and converter and going to a 224/228 590/590 and a yank ss3600 and i was wondering about also doing a ls6 intake but i was also wondering about loosing some low end.sorry for all the questions but i heard it go both ways but no one saying with what converter they were running at the time....

im wondering if anyone has seen much low end loss with a ls6 intake and this converter.

do yall think i will see enough difference that will justify doing the ls6 intake swap????
also difference in the 1/4 and on the street.

please let me know your expereince/and opinion!! good or bad!!

thanks guys in advance
-Nate

IMO with that converter you will never be in the "low end" of the powerband, so IMO there is nothing to worry about

well when normal driving is it going to be a pig unless it up in the rpm? and will it want to down shift when hitting a hill or will it pull through?

What i was trying to say is that unless your converter is locked (depending on how your tune is set up) you will not be in the rpm < 2400ish, while driving around with that converter...

definately worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My converter was my last mod, if i had to do it all over again, it would be the first... It will be kinda strange when you first drive it, actually i hated mine, better after a little bit, i grew to love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It will feel like you gained a ton!!

Personally i would go with a 3200, but that is just me, some go bigger some go smaller, 3200 is in the middle, that is why i like it...

BTW, I would not do the LS6 swap... Some have gained and some have not gained, not worth the money or hassle, IMO... Mine is coming off next week...
