Default Who did the LS1 manifold test?

A few months back one of the magazines published an article about a test they did to compare intake manifolds for the LSx engine. LS1, LS6, LS2 and the FAST intake.

Does anyone remember which magazine it was?

It was Chevy Hi Performance. July 2004. I have right it in front of me. Any questions on it? I can read it, and let you know.

In the magazine, they tested....
Stock LS1
LS6
6.0L Truck
F.A.S.T. LSX
Weiand/Lingenfelter

The 6.0L came out on top, actually.

IM guessing the test you have, is more in depth than the CHP one. This one just gives hp#'s, and build quality opinions.

this is a head test with the various intakes strapped on. the cfm your engine will see; it just shows the potential of the intakes and information you can use to aid in cam selection.

Thanks so much for your help. I don't think that is the article I am looking for though. The one I read included a test of the LS2 intake. They concluded that lots of C6 owners were going to be looking for an LS6 intake manifold because it worked so much better that the LS2 unit.

Does this ring a bell with anyone?
