Default LS6 intake much help?

Would an LS6 intake help much with hp & torque with my mods being air intake, long tubes, off-road X-pipe, catback, 160 stat, and dyno tuned?

I have yet to get the tune which is coming at the end of the month.
If I get the intake later, will the car need another tune - best to get the LS6 intake before the tune?

THe LS6 intake became standard on '01 and newer Vettes.
That along with a new cam design added 5 HP over the 2000.

Intake before the tune. It will help her breath and you will definitely see HP and TQ gains over the stock LS1 intake.

Switching to the LS6 intake in addition to the above posts resolved my detonation issuses as I had a lot of oil accumulating in there with the old LS1. Once the knock issue was resolved then we were able to pull timing.

You will need a new coolant pipe for the LS6 too. Also it is a good time to pick up an oil catch can while you are there. Contact Chip at Custom Corvette Accessories for a good deal on a quality product. Chip is a forum sponsor.

Good Luck
