LS2 intake as good as LSX 90mm? What is your opinion, thanks, Shawn

Am not sure about the lsx 90mm but here is an interesting thread about the ls2 manifold . https://ls1tech.com/forums/generation-iv-internal-engine/241304-track-results-ls2-intake.html

i'd say the lsx is marginally better than the ls2

Has there been a good result with the LS2 yet? Over the LS6 or LSX?

Not on a N/A motor,only the FI guys have picked up power with the LS2.
Even on a stroker guys are losing power over the LS6 vs the LS2..


LSX ROCKS

Yeah, after seeing your results and those of SMOKIN01TA I bit the bullet and ordered both a FAST LSX 90mm intake and 90mm TB this morning.....

I gained 27rwhp & 13rwtq out of mine and those are the kind of gains you get from headers and true duals out the back which is pricey so for around the same kind of $$ you get around the same kind of gains as headers & exhaust and no one has a problem spending the $$ on that so I think for the gains it's not that bad of a deal for the price of LS1 after market parts.

haha....i'd say you gain near double that with true duals and headers...and you can get true duals and headers for <$800 and the 90mm fast with throttle body is $1400-1500...so you are getting about 1/4 of your "power for money spent" with this intake than true duals and headers...

If you wait for a deal, you can get the FAST setup for $1100-1200. I see numerous people spend more than that on other performance parts with lesser results. Most LT setups are about the same HP numbers with more TQ. If you don't want the extra HP and cost, just don't get it. alot of people want the most from there setup and the LSX helps you get there and I don't see another alternative yet..

Yea, if you buy Pacesetters and TSP's true duals. If you're like some other people and want SS, then $1400 for a complete exhaust setup(custom true duals) is reasonable, unless you are local to your shop which can lower it to around $1200.

And yea....27rwhp is what you get from headers alone half the time. True duals should add another 5-10rwhp/tq easy over most catbacks(more if coming from stock).

HaHa yea if you go cheap you get cheap and I didn't buy a cheap car so everything I've put on it at the time I bought was the best out at the time. I paid $1,100 for my 90mm setup (midnight madness sale). I don't see where your math is adding up on the 1/4 of your power for $$ spent how much hp do you think you gained with headers & duals? Anyway if I want to spend $$ on a nice setup that's my choise I don't need someone laughing at me because they think it's too much $$ it's what I wanted and when I go true duals out the back it will be stainless from the eng. all the way out the back and that won't be cheap either.

I put nothing but the best in my ride. Well worth the money. LSX all the way!

cheap will still go just as fast...(and not too many people get underneath your car to see how nice your exhaust looks)...you can go spend twice as much and have the same thing...it's your money not mine...and your comparing a special deal to a normal price......my math comes from speed inc. and tsp...where it would cost you over $1400 to get a 90mm lsx w/throttle body and about $800 for COATED pacesetters and the tsp system...true duals can be had for much cheaper than their also...i'd be willing to bet you get ~40rwhp from headers/true duals...so lets say 1/3 instead of 1/4 "bang for the buck" it doesn't really matter though cause you are going to need both...i'd personally spend a lot more on exhaust since the intake doesn't give you that mean sound

smokin' joe 00 ss

I don't do anything on my ride's because someone might look under it I look under it and thats all that's important to me, you might get those type of #'s on a Dyno jet but in the real world on a Mustang Dyno I would bet on that. Don't get me wrong I think a true dual setup is killer and I'll get one when someone come's up with a good SS setup out the back that you don't have to beat the hell out of the floor board's or remove the upper PHR. Also my 27rwhp gain is from a LS^ intake and ported T/B so I would say it would have been alot more if I compared it to my LS1 intake and unported T/B like you are coparing the headers and duals to a stock setup.

777

iTrader: (21)

you are right...i thought that was over stock...imo that is a HUGE gain...for just an intake...i'd do ss if i had the money...i just don't...i'll be fine with my stuff...it's just preference...yours will be nicer than mine...but it's not something that will make me want to spend the extra money to do...and real world numbers come in this format XX.XX@XXX.XX or X.XX@XXX.XX haha...but i know what you mean...i'm just ready to start tearing into my new project..

smokin' joe 00 ss

Well good luck with the new project
