Default LS6 intake...or MGW shifter?!!?!!??!

Which would you do first on a stock C5? Would the LS6 intake make a noticeable difference if the rest of the engine and exhaust setup was still stock?

Get a used LS6 intake AND a used shifter,cheaper than new parts. Best of both and youll get those mods out of the way at the same time. Change the personality of the vette right away.

Shifter as well--- You won't struggle to shift it at WOT and miss shifts or shift into the wrong gear---Most common mistake is to go from 2nd to 5th---as 3 and 5 are so close
The LS6 intake is also a great bolt on mod--Worth an honest 10-15 RWHP---all across the RPM range---
