Looking to swap my stock ls2 intake I want to know wish of the shelf intake is the best for high hp applications .

Ill be running the holley high ram and looking to make 1k+rwhp but that intake would be huge on that s2k. Have you considered a victor with an elbow?

Fr8train has put down 1142 HP to the rear wheels with a stock LS1 intake and stock throttle body with a 408 cid stroker. IMO don't waste your $$ on those parts since you are shoving it in the cylinders anyways.

For the life of me this is the only video I can find of it.

However could he have made another 100hp with a better intake is my question.

could have definitely made a bunch more power with a better intake

boost is just a measure of restriction...
you can make more power, on less boost with a less restrictive intake





any single plane will make great power with forced induction
Sheet metal intakes are king, followed closely by stuff like the Holley Hi-Ram
also, in general, better with a Carb style throttle body when possible, and bigger is better

I made 700whp with a ls1 intake.

Understood.

I was just providing an example of how much power can be made with a stock intake and throttle body.

I would be satisfied with the 1142 and running low 8's in a full bodied and stock looking interior and driving it anywhere in the USA without a trailer.

Whatever floats your boat.

Lol what he said ^^^^

I dont know what the part in red has to do with the intake...

lots of guys throw on a single plane vic jr with a low profile elbow and it looks stock from the curbside...and they drive it all over...


also, I have driven some pretty radical setups as a daily driver...and put more miles on it than some people do in their unmodified daily car.

I made 805 with an LS1 and a 78mm truck TB. It would have gone 900, but I was having voltage issues above 6200 that were basically putting an end to the power right there. I am swapping an LS6 on and will see if that makes a difference. I did this on 15.8 psi average boost and under 13* of timing through an unlocked 4L80E.

Everybody always mentions the holley Hi ram, and leaves out the edelbrock proflo-xt IMO it is just as good of a piece, Seen plenty of FI cars pull hard over 7K with the proflo.

Ls1 to LS6 isnt that much difference...
even on a Naturally aspirated Motor, the only difference is that it carries out to a higher rpm...the curve follows almost exactly the same otherwise.

I didnt mention it because its not that good...
once you get down to the #'s, a FAST 92 does better
the proflow does marginally better in the upper rpms than an 85mm stock style intake(like that metal typhoon intake)...it doent usually pull past 6200/6400 rpm's....

I have seen a back to back with the Stock/proflow/fast 92.....the fast 92 out performed the proflow.

proflo does great when it has a cam speced for the runners, only comparisons I have seen was it vs a LS6 where the cam was speced for the LS6 runners and it didnt do as well in the mid range but did better up top. A fair comparison would be to run differents sticks as well one to take advantage of the composite intakes one to take advantage of the proflo runners hands down I bet the proflo would kick the fast 92/ LS6 teeth in. ITs all about the valve timing events with the longer runners.

What intake pulls clean and carries the power out to 7k and fits under a low hood?

Is it not worth it to pick up the LS6? Should I just stick with the LS1?

That's cool and all but can they run their stock hood, keep their cowl, and windshield wipers?

Preston99WS6

iTrader: (7)

I say it is, LS6's will pull right to 7K not much higher, ls1's seem to be done around 6.5K, anyway its how I am going to roll as I dont want to cut the wipers out of my T/A.

I've been halfway considering selling my Victor Jr, Accufab 4150, Extreme Velocity setup in favor of a Holley Hi-Ram. I guess it would mainly depend how much difference in cash I would have to come up with. I did some quick internet pricing and new cost is equal for a Hi-Ram + 102mm TB vs Victor Jr + 4150 Accufab + EV Pro hat (roughly $1080 for both setups).

I'll probably stick with what I already have - unless someone really wants it:

Twin turbo c5

I'm a big fan of the truck intake and ls6 i've had both. Cant beat them for tha price.

I'm going with Super Victor 4150, Wilson Elbow, and Wilson LSX TB for my intake portion, I know those parts are pretty pricey but I'm in no rush to finish the build if it means spending more money on high quality parts.
