You already have an LS6 intake on your vette..I believe after 01 all LS1's
came with the ls6 intake manifold...adding the vararam and headers with a tune would be a nice upgrade. It won't be a huge horsepower increase, but you'll love the improved acceleration..

Getting GOOD LTs, high flow cats, low restrictive mufflers and any GOOD CAI, plus a great dyno tune, then yes 30 maybe 40 hp.
the DYNO tune is the key here

A dyno tune is only good for a couple things
Showing off your numbers to your friends
and tuning for MAX HP and TQ at WOT ONLY
Now a street tune addresses much more---Bottom end ---- launch---
mid range as well as WOT
Especially if you have an auto car trans tuning is huge !!!and that is best done with driving the car----I have seen cars pick up 3-5 tenths in the 1/4 mile simply with trans tuning---Quickening and firming a up the shifting---- extending the WOT shift RPM's ---Deleting TQ management
abuse management----TQ limiting--
