Default LS/6 intake

did you see any increase in HP on those of you that have a stock LS/1 engine
97 to 2000, do you think its worth changing it over to the LS/6 intake??? :confused:

I think I got a big torque jump. When I put on the LS6 intake (along with Long tube headers and new exhaust), I got a 20lb/ft increase in torque (rw) and only about 10hp increase (rw).

I already had Vortex Ram-Air when I did this mod...

I'm planning on heads and cam down the road and expect it to pay off then.

Lates,
Justin
