intake set up

ok i have the K&N cold air intake for my car, they say it adds about 20 hp.. however i hear from people (i read in other threads) that it is junk and i will get better gains from other intakes.....

what intake system should i get for it, what is the highest recamended one?

also i want to get a bigger throttle body... what size should i get... and where is agood lace to get it?

would you also recemend getting a space with this throttle body?

thanks everyone, again i have a 2004 ls2 m6

Wow... you must have the rarest GTO. They didn't come with the LS2 in 04!

Just about any aftermarket CAI is better then the kleenex box the car comes with. K&N claims you will see 14hp on the dyno or they will buy it back. Doesn't sound like junk to me. Plus it's louder, and louder is meaner.

Everyone has an opinion, usually that theirs is the best. Well remember, opinions are like a$$holes, everyone has one. Who gives a crap if brand X dyno's at 1 more horsepower than brand Y for a measly $100.00 more. That 1 horsepower isn't going to be the deciding factor in a race.

the only advantage to an after market filter is a bigger, less restrictive filter area. that said ANY bigger cone filter is better so at $50 or less for a filter you can slap one on and get the HP dyno gains of any of them. the thing that differentiates a good one from an also ran then is how well it pulls cold air in. once again they are pretty much the same so if you have to get one pick the prettiest one. if you're serious about colder air right now you'll have to cut a hole in you car and make your own. as far as the throttle body, until you start modding for a lot more air flow (headers, cam, heads, exhaust) you won't see any power gains from one. if you want to port and polish your stocker. that will be worth maybe 5-8hp
