Default Ported LS2 vs LS6

There has been a lot debate abt a ported LS2 vs a LS6 the only reason I'm considering a LS2 ported is cus of the snout of the LS2 90mm the real question is if a ported LS2 has the same plenum volume has the LS6 or which performs better?

Im deciding which one of these topics has been beaten more.... It's between Ls2 vs Ls6 threads or the threads about HID lighting...

understandable. But there is a sponsor I posted about in one.

The ls6 out of the box is BETTER. Hands down. Even the ls1 intake manifold is considered better than the ls2.

BUT

If your looking to get it ported somewhere then the ls2 will be better BECAUSE when you port the ls2 it smoothes out the insides very nicely so it flows much better. The ls6 cannot be taken apart but the sponsor claims he can basic port it and give you a 5rwhp gain.

I run an ls6 intake manifold just like everyone else. Mine came with it though.

Ask yourself this. "Is it really worth the hassle of getting an ls2 intake manifold just for an extra un-noticeable 5rwhp?" Its not cost effective but if every little bit counts on a budget then go for it.

^ that makes sense.

Who's going to port the LS2 if you get one of those? and what would it cost?
Safe to assume you have an LS1 intake right now?
