Default ls2 intake good for boost? searched didnt find much

I have a new ls2 intake manifold and a fast throttle body, i read a few bad reviews and a few good reviews, how would this compare to a ls6?

We had an LS2 intake manifold on this CTS-V, and we swapped it out for a FAST 92 and lost 2 psi of boost but gained 60 rwhp. I am certain we would not of seen this kind of a gain had we gone from the LS6 intake to the FAST 92. I have always heard the LS2 intake is a step back from the LS6 intake, but I have never done any back to back test.
The dyno chart for the above CTS-V with the FAST 92 intake can be seen at the link here. http://shop.brutespeed.com/Brute-Spe...d-Camshaft.htm Bob

Run the ls2 if you have it already they hold up fine from what I've seen.

Ls6 > ls2

Price wise its a wash since the 90MM TB is more expensive, but the LS2 intake is cheaper...
