Well guys, we just tried a LS6 intake with a 90mm stock t-body on a 427 car. It's worth 10-15 to the wheels. We got this peice from TPIS it was a prototype but looked sellable. They are going into production!

When will it be on the market, and any idea on the cost. The LS2 intake seems to be really holding the car back. Someone needs to fabricate a bolt on fast intake....

It's sounds odd but yeah using an LS6 intake in place of the LS2 could yield improvements across the board, that LS2 intake is a bit of a letdown, curious how the LS7 intake will perform and/or what kind of results a FAST 90 set up would give to the new Z06.
