The intake manifold on a stock LS engine is probibly where you lost your tq. Besides the fact our cars dont have much in the first place. If your looking for tq then you bought the wrong car.

i think you mean aftermarket camshafts

anyway
this guys right, if you havent got cams or even an h/c/e system then the intake mani is pointless. if you want to retain some torque & not remove it then keep your stock throttle body
