Default LS6 v LS2 intake

Brand new article on this exact subject from head expert Pete Incaudo in the new vette magazine..(I think maybe corvette fever I saw it ?) He actually puts them thru the test.

Not in detail...just skimmed real fast. Ls2 was king under certain conditions I think. Don't hold me to that. I spent 2 minutes on a 10 minute article.

The LS6 is better in the low/midrange

The LS2 is better at the top, but you must add the LS2 90mm tb and the harness extention to make it work...

TPIS actually merges both together. They plastic weld the 90mm LS2 opening to the LS6 body/runners because they say it improves midrange power.
