from what i understand the LS4 doesnt give you more hp but it will move your powerband so you will see the power sooner (correct me if im wrong)
and iv also heard that unless your running the TVS your not moving enough air to make use of it and it makes the car really touchy

No first hand experience on this one, but there have been enough people that have posted both sides of the story to summarize:

On the one hand, you get a small power gain. To some people this is ALL that matters.

On the other hand, the throttle response gets very erratic. It can make the average driver seem like they dont know how to drive simply because quick changes in throttle position have a much more pronounced effect than the stocker. At this point bumper to bumper traffic will get old FAST.

I personally feel that the guys who pretend the LS4 is a piece of cake to master are just trying to show off. Deep down I'll bet they're fed up with it just like everyone else that has tried it.

Since I haven't tried it myself I'd have to say give it a shot. Just be sure to post your HONEST opinion. Maybe one day I'll try it too.

yes it bolts right up with the stock bolts but u will need a bigger coupler to attach ur intake. I just used some tape cause I want to get a 3" intake but havent yet.

I have the ls4 cause my stock tb went bad. At times it can get touchy. I was stuck in traffic the other day and it wasnt even remotely bad. Working the stock clutch and shifting would be higher on the hate scale to me
