Default LS2 Or LS6 Intake?

Ok Ive heard good things about both intakes, hell ive even heard that a ported LS2 Intake makes more power than a FAST 90MM.

So Anyone know for sure about this? Some insight would be great.

I think the LS2 doesn't flow well in our applications, (LS1-LS6).

The LS2 intakes aren't good for much. Some vette guys have even traded them for LS6's. My guess would be that the runner and plenum volumes are just to large for normal CI ranges. I wouldn't put one on anything of mine.

Bottom line, if you have a big cube motor they are all JUNK. Either go with a sheetmetal elbow and single plane (which is actually cheaper than a FAST setup) or a Sheetmetal intake done by someone who knows what they are doing.

You guys would be suprised how well a ported LS2 is. Check out ls2 port works or Jerromy Formato(sp). Matt D went 11.44 SI with a ported LS2.

They few people who have a ported one seem to like them.

Makes me wonder why they arn't as common a ported LS2 is alot cheaper then a fast, heck it's not too much more then a stock ls6!

Because not many people like to be different. If someone with 1,000 posts says it's so it must be. Hell I was even told that if all my car makes is 504rwhp with that much compression and my big cam I'm doing something wrong. Same person put a TH400 in there car and is 1 sec slower with there 402. Remember this is the internet.

That is correct, ported they are comperable to an out of the box FAST 90.
