Default Ls6 intake or ls2 intake

I want to get an LS6 intake for my ls1 motor.Does'nt have the ls6 intake.But then I was looking at the LS2 intakes.But I was reading that the Ls6 intake might be better to go with.Anybody have good results with the LS2 intake.Right know I have the 241 heads and only plan on doing a cam change.Maybe get the 241 heads worked on(valve job,port work).Or maybe get a pair of used 243 heads.Which intake did or would you guys or gals go with. thanks

If you can get your hands on an LS6 intake I would definitely grab it up. They tend to make a little better power, but if you get an LS2 intake you would have to get a throttle body because they are 90mm. The stock throttle body will fit on the LS6 intake no problem.

Thats what I figured.I seen some used LS2 intakes and was just wondering if it would be a bad move instead of the ls6 intake. thanks

From what I've read stock vs stock an LS6 is better. A ported LS2 would be better than a stock LS6, but for the price of switching over to an LS2 plus porting costs, a FAST would trump all.

Im getting an ls2 for now ill be buying a 102mm tb and then when i get the money together buy a ported fast 102 . Ls2 can be had for cheap.... I wouldnt waste money porting it but will be a great stepping stone on my way to the fast intake.

From what I've heard the ls2 doesn't flow as well as the ls6 also I've heard of problems with the ls2 like cracking and what not
