LS1 intake manifold vs. LS6
Thinking about my next mod and considering going from the LS1 intake manifold to the LS6 (also changing out the throttle body while I'm at it). Is it worth the cost?

For what it's worth, I was told, by a well-known tuner, that a switch to either the LS6, or FAST, intake manifold won't do much of anything on a basically stock, stock cubed motor. Now if you're planning on some serious modding down the line...

Re: LS1 intake manifold vs. LS6 (Horseshoe Dozer)
I checked your profile and you have a 2003 C5. You already have an LS6 intake manifold on your car. You don't need to do this mod. Save up for a set of good LT headers. That will get you a good 20-25rwhp or more. :)

Neptune............It came as a package deal with the Vortex Cold air induction system and it is the granny that is tuned for cold air (not the standard one). Seems to work much better than the stock maf for this setup.
