2000 FRC 60k, CAI Dr. Phil Tune cat back
333 rwhp 339 torque

I am considering adding LS6 style intake manifold, headers and retune. What type of Rwhp and torque #'s should I expect? And for those of you who have similar mods what are your opinions. Happy Holidays

I think a better question is what level of performance will you be happy with? What is your planned use? How important are the raw numbers to you?

Car runs very good. But as you know speed is addictive. I would like to get the most I can out of it with bolt ons. The car is a weekend driver seeing about 1000 miles a year. I would like the car to run with stock LS3 vettes if that is possible with bolt-ons.

With the addition of longtubes, ls6 intake, and retuning i would expect a 20-30rwhp gain.
