Is it worth the trouble?
Assuming the rest of the engine is bone stock, has anybody seen any improvement on dyno by installing Z06 intake?
I'm sure you can see an improvement with better flowing heads. Will there be a difference with stock LS1 heads?

I had the same thoughts when I got my ls6 intake. From the top they look the same, but the bottom is different.
I'm glad I did mine, there was a difference but not a big difference. I have never dyno'ed my Vette, so can not ut a number on it, however probabily not more than the margin of error on a dyno. I have an auto trans and it shifted better afterward, maybe the vacuum was better or something that could have been fixed just by servicing the existing ls1 intake. But, still I'm glad I did it, but that could also be because I did it myself and learned more about my Vette.
There has to be a reason they put it on all ls1s starting in 2001.
