Default Is the LS2 Intake an upgrade fro the stock ls1

Really not worth doing,an LS6 intake however is going to give you gains for sure.

yes, but at the same time there are other bolt-ons that would make more bang for your buck than putting an LS6 intake on a STOCK LS1 engine...

The LS6 intake flows better than an LS2 intake on an LS1 engine. That's been proven (search for the thread(s); it's here)

You can tell which is the better intake by looking at the classified section. The LS6 intakes sell like hotcakes and command more $$. You can't give the LS2's away. It won't be long before you see the LS2's selling for LS1 intake prices.
