Default LS1 parts...
Will the stock LS1 intake manifold and camshaft show any big-time gains?

No. In my opinion it would be a wast of time and money.

I still don't think it would be worth the time.

the 01-02 model year LS1 engines had the same cams in them that the 6.0L Vortec engines had. After got the engine to accept the cam, and got it tuned, you wouldn't be pushing that much better.

Ok, but still, what about the intake manifold? Will it help me towards future mods? Also, will it void the devil warranty?

i was under the immpression that the factory 5.3 manifold was designed for low end torque. so wouldnt switching it out give a more balanced poweband?

Waste of time for the minimal gains....I would suggest some exhaust work first....maybe a custom dyno tune.
