LS2 Intake on LS1 I have a friend who has an ls2 GTO. He is sellin his LS2 intake and cam. How well would the intake work on my LS1? I have a 99 Trans Am if it makes a difference.
The cam is 230-230-585-595@ 113. It is made for a LS2. Would this cam work in my 99 trans am?
Have any of you done anything of this sort? if so i would appriciate some advice.

I went faster, in worse weather, with a ported LS2 intake and 90mm throttle body vs a LS6 intake and ported 78mm throttle body. This was on my bolton car that makes peak power a tad before 6200rpm and shifts at 6500. A H/C car would see even more of a gain. But what do Bill and I know, our cars are slow!
Did a quick google...

The LS6 intake not only produced more peak power than the LS2, but it also outperformed the newer-style manifold from 3,700 to 6,500 rpm. We suspect that if the LS6 intake had been configured with a 90mm throttle opening, the difference would have been even more dramatic. Based on this test, it looks like (non-Z06) C6 owners would do well to swap out their factory intake for an LS6 unit.

We put a ported LS2 intake ,injectors & rails on Melissa GTO it made 310 hp
325 torque before swap then made 306 hp 335 torque
we lost 4hp but gained 10 lbs of torque and it kept the same power curve, we where happy it was a cheap swap for us to do
