Default Intake Manifold Questions!

Alright, I have been thinking of getting a fast 90mm intake manifold because I am assuming that is the best one to go with for my 03 Z. Will I be able to use this with my stock TB? How much hp gain will I be looking at? Will I need a tune if I install this and how hard is it to install? Could I get a 90mm TB to go with my intake manifold without getting a tune and would this net me a hp gain? Thanks

From everything I've heard and read, you will be wasting your money. If you had big heads/cam, then yes. Your money would be better spent elsewhere. You already have a LS6 intake and that is plenty good enough. Spend the money on longtubes and exhaust.

throw a cam in there too

15 RWHP = $1500 for the fast system.

I have found that $100 = 1 RWHP

exception= No2
