Default Fast intake combo vs LS2 intake/90mm tb

im going to be running boost with cathedral ports and was told the Ls2 intake was the best of the Ls2, Ls1, and Ls6. so now im wondering how much of a gain ill pick up by going with a FAST intake combo? any help would be great, thanks

ic yea ive heard a couple things about the #7 cylinder having problems...Im building a TT370 and prob going to go with the ls2 intake after hearing this and i know theyre def cheaper. i was going to go with l92 setup and ls3/fast intake but have been seeing people make just as good of numbers with 317/cathedral port castings and the l92 take a offset intake rocker arm...

Yes, the LS2 is great for boost applications, but you could also go aluminum with the boost set-up & it'll allow more room for port matching & added strength.

I went with an LS2 for boost. There are some other things you need to do to be able to run an LS2 on an LS1. I had to goto a holley tb for the throttle bracket. Shim the fuel rails and the MAP sensor mounts different.
