For 270 I would say yes. With only a Blackwing I picked up 6HP and 9TQ at the wheels. The 300 range for our cars is a cheap mod, plus it will yeild even more HP/TQ if you add headers. Make sure you do not have the LS6 intake now is your Vette 00 or earlier?

For that kind of price, I would say go for it.

Looking at your mods., personally I would take the $270 and put it towards a MAF sensor or a throttle body. $270 is a great price for the LS6 manifold. But remember you still have to install it and unless you DIY you might be looking at some $$$. Take care and good luck.

to an extent. I havent seen any evidence to support upgrading these for significant gains, especially considering their cost. I was wondering what gains to expect with the LS6 manifold myself. I have a 2000 coupe with blackwing, headers, and exhaust. LS1howto.com claimed a gain of 24rwhp after switching the manifolds. However, I think he was also running a cam because he went from 380rwhp to over 400rwhp. These gains seemed absurd, but I just dont know. Deals arent that great right now for the LS6 manifolds either, $450 shipped from fred beans. I would hop on the $270 deal if i were you.

I just installed an LS6 intake and LT headers/cats last weekend. The SOTP increase is considerable. Haven't had it dyno'd to tuned but it runs much stronger. The biggest SOTP gain is definitely Torque. I don't know what portion of the increse is attriibutable to the manifold the the combination is great.

If that includes the water cross-over pipe and two rear plugs then it's an even better deal! It's actually a fairly straightforward job.
One word of advice though: MIND THE SMALL NYLON VACUUM LINE AT THE REAR when you're re-installing the manifold. I say go for it.

I would go for it, that's a good price for that intake..this could also help your other future mods if you do some.
I would stay away from an after market MAF and throttle body, not worth the money and little or no gain in performance unless you are going for some huge HP like over 450 or 500..your stock set up will do fine. Plus, I would think you would need to tune your computer/PCM to recognize the different MAF/throttle body to gain any HP. JMO
