So....at the crossroads of upgrades.

Have heads / cam going in. Added headers about 4 weeks ago.

Question is....upgrade to a 102mm throttle body and new intake manifold or leave it alone?

Convince me either way...thanks.

102 mm intake? I think you mean throttle body?

You already have an LS6 manifold and TB, A Fast 102 and 102mm will run over a $1000, and maybe result in about another 25hp - maybe.

You have to decide if its worth it to you.
