Default Ls1-verses-ls6 Intake, H.p. Difference?
According to a recent article in corvette enthusiast 7 horsepower difference to the rear wheels. Articles in other magazines that I have read show 2 to 4 horsepower difference. Anyone have acctual dyno results before and after this intake swap?

Everything is combo and tune specific. For a stocker I wouldn't bother with the swap, for a heads/cam or FI buildup I'd definitely do the swap.

It would depend on the year. I believe that from 2002 on all the C5s had the LS6 intake.

2001 to 2004 are all the ls6 manifold. Aprox 5hp is what I hear.
