LS6 intake = ZERO GAINS!

[TXsilverado]

right now i feel like i woulda been better off wiping my butt with the money. i basically ran the exact times.

best time on my before numbers was 8.02@85.xx
best time on my after numbers are 7.99@86.xx

i did the best apples to apples comparison i could. both runs within 1 week on the same track at the same weight nothing else changed. charlie retuned it and left everything the same but just tuned for the injectors. it was hot as crap both nights. i did pick up 1mph so im guna give it the benifit of the doubt and hope it helps more in the 1/4 but i doubt it.

so far my results are:

TRUCK INTAKE = LS6 INTAKE

Would more relearn time help some?

I guess it kind of makes *some* sense, loss of TQ with the truck and probably gains up top with LS6?

that sucks man....did the 60' times change any?

I read an article a while back that compared different gm intakes. After testing the lq4 was just as good as the ls intakes. Only downside was its size. I'll try to locate it and post it

ive seen the same articles that showed the same numbers but once they started throwing in cams the ls6 intake outperformed the truck intake from like 5300 rpm on up. the 60' stayed about the same but i gained 1mph. the 1mph is keeping me optomistic that i will gain in the full 1/4 but i doubt it.

im itching to put on this nitrous kit! still dont plan on putting it on until i make that 11 second pass on motor.

Stewart---give it some more time to learn everything. Drive with it for a while and get it to a 1/4 mile track. Since the LS6 is for better upper end power, you will see the difference on a 1/4 mile run vs. an 1/8 mile run. Plus the tune is brand spankin new and needs some miles to get acquainted with it.

Well damn stewart. I know lance saw few gains after reading that article that he posted up

I figured the gains would be small at best. Like TXsilverado stated 5300+ rpm and maybe with a nice cam some performance would be gained.

[TXsilverado]

they only net 15 hp gain. to some thats marginal to some thats noticable. they did claim its good for a .15 in Et...so you right on the money. thats a comparison of ls1 to ls6

and going from a truck intake to the ls6 intake wont net as much gains

Hold out for the new Weiand composite intake that's supposed to be like 30 HP over the LS6 intake.
