Get the LS6, the alum will suffer from heat soak after a couple of runs.
Goto ls1howto.com on the conversion of LS1 to LS6 intake.

There is a dyno flog test article in this months issue of Chevy High Performance using the current LS manifolds available on the market.

Its an interesting read.

Hope you get a good deal.

I'd rather have the LS6 myself.

you'll need to buy or make a blockoff plate for your passenger side exhaust manifold as shown here http://www.ls1camaro.net/sections.ph...ticle&artid=70
