I was reading about this in my ls1/ls6 performance book. The 6.0l intake will provide a better low end torque curve but that is it. It will even hurt you in the high rpm range. I would go with the ls6 intake.

Here is flow bech infromation that I have seen the 6.0 Truck intake on ported heads compared to the LS6 intake and LS1 intake. The following is for ported LS1 heads on the same bench.

Intake .200 .300 .350 .400 .450 .500 .550 .600
LS1-------141--185--205--222--232--241--251--258
6.0--------163--206--224--237--249--262--265--270
LS6-------166--211--229--244--257--269--277--283

I do not have any port volume stats.

Hope this helps,
Bart
