Intake help

Hey guys I have a 03 Procharged coupe with mild mods. put down 520rwhp. Fixing to do a esc intercooler, meth, and blower cam and new intake. Would like to hit over 600. Which intake would be best for me? I like the looks (and price) of the vic jr with the elbow. Has anyone run that on a small cube supercharged motor? Would it work well?

The LS1 intake will work fine for 600 HP. Save your money for some heads or a forged bottom if you don't already have it.

LS6 is all you need. Save your cash for something else.

Any need, or gain, form a ported TB to go along with the LS6?

What intake do you have now?

If 03 it came with a LS6

Stock TB is fine

I have a 2000 so its a LS1. I am changing it to a LS6 and that's why O was asking about the Ported TB.

It doesn't sound like you are going to be boosting much. You are not going to see any gains from a different TB or intake unless you boost at much higher levels than a 500+ HP motor. If you're on a stock motor I'd leave well enough alone except for adding the meth and getting a great tune,.
