ls2 or ls6 intake on ls1?
Is it easy to pull an intake manifold? I was thinking of buying an ls6 or ls2 intake. Is it worth it? What kind of gains would I see?
Also if I did that I guess I'd pull the throttle body, to port at polish it do you just sand the inside down and polish it/

Ls6 just for ease of the swap you can re-use everything like fuel rail,injectors,throttle body and steam lines just knock out the underside plastic ribs and you're done.
Now if you plan on porting the intake there has been big debates over which is better in the long run for that.

There is a thread on this site of some guy doing back to back dynos testing between the LS1, LS6, BBK, and a FAST if you can find it. Basically in comparison to the LS1 intake:
LS6= +5 hp
BBK= +10 hp
FAST= (I think it was like +15-20 hp, I don't remember this one exactly).
Those were his results based on back to back dynos. Because of this I picked the BBK.
LS2 is not even worth mentioning IMO.
