The V6 autos will have more trouble with swapping gears, but the manual V6's have the same LSD diff (albeit with different gears) as the SS.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I will definitely install a CAI and performance tires asap. (I'll wait on the exhaust) One more question, can you guys recommend any good CAI brands? I know people talk shit about BBK intakes but I like that blue haha Anything under 400 is ok.

I basically did exactly what you want to do .
I have a 2012 1LS. Exhaust and CIA. Sounds amazing, reduced a lot of weight. I eat a LOT of RS package 2LS. It's the manual trans, weight off the exhaust and cia I'm convinced. (dyno readings I don't think take in to account the weight reduction do they? someone correct me please if I am wrong....?) those darn trash cans were HEAVY! You just can't drag against an experienced manual transmission driver in an automatic. That nut you're racing in the manual will take every gear to redline regardless of what the computer wants to do. Most of all playing with your toy is fun and anything that puts a smile on my face is a gain! |

Most CAI will give similar numbers, I went with Injen as it was an intake that was grabbing air away from the engine. Love the sound it gave the motor. Ported throttle body helps with the response and will eliminate that dead spot when you floor it, worth the money in my opinion. I have an auto so when I got my Trifecta tune it was a nice surprise how well it added to the tranny. Over all the tune itself kinda made all the other mods play nice together. As Poor man said it doesn't give you a SS killer but it does make it better. Your butt dyno will feel it.
