Buying a LS6 intake for my stock C5 need help.
04 C5 6 Speed stock. I’m buying things here and there while I put it in storage to get it ready for next year.
1) what can I expect from just adding the LS6 intake?
2) What has to be done when putting on a bigger intake ?

you can port it yourself, it isn't particularly hard just time consuming

if the cam/heads are stock the fast intake is not very cost effective

Yep, but don't start there. The stock throttle body is the same as on the LS6/Z06, and the LS6 can be modded a bit with the stock TB. IOW start with cam, headers, heads... then consider another TB IMO.

especially if you decide on a supercharger or turbo, in most cases there is no reason to switch to a larger tb
