Default manifold upgrade?

I have a 2000, Would going to a LS6 manifold offer anything worthwhile?

I have a 2000 vert and I just bought the LS6 manifold it helps with other bolt ons and H/C
By itself on a stock car I doubt you could feel the increase.
A good mod if you are adding ,cold air intake headers and exhaust
Just my opinion John

Without some other mods, you probably will only get a minimal increase. But, if you plan to do something eventually, it would be a good choice. You may also want to consider the new F.A.S.T. intake.

I already added one to my H/C package before my blower but I know it helped with the H/C and have to think it helps with the blower as well, it may get you 10 or so at the wheel with your blower, have someone tune it back in.
