Default LS6 Manifold on 2000 C5?

I just bought a C5 Coupe with 34K and am thinking about a LS6 manifold. We put one on my Son's '99 WS6 and it made a noticable difference. How about the same on the Corvette?

Thanks, and Happy Easter,

Jim

Yeah it definitely increases HP. It's good for about 10 HP give or take. The engines are almost identical so you should see the same difference that you noticed on the WS6.

Now, where should I buy the manifold? We bought the one for the WS6 at the WS6 Store (it was from SLP). Also, my wife says she needs a "Corvette" hat when we cruise with the Targa top off. Who has them?

Thanks Again,

Jim

I don't think you're going to see drastic changes with just the intake manifold. Are you planning on doing any other mods? Heads/cam/headers??? The intake manifold would be much more beneficial if you're planning on those mods. If not, I would recommend not spending the $500. GM parts direct has them. Expect about 2 weeks for delivery.
