Going to do a conversion on this lil bitty LS4 intake...its strangeling my topside flow...i was told the LS2 intake is better for FI set ups....

Here you go Ross, check this out
http://tpis.com/pages/4_12_06 Intake is a LS6 with a LS2 inlet so you would need to use the LS2 throttle body.

Extra info on LS2 tb
I thought I'd add this little bit of info I got a while back. It's an email from a guy who swapped an LS4, with an LS2 intake and throttle body, into his fiero. The first paragraph is me asking questions and the second is his response.

"I'd like to learn more about your LS4 swap. More specifically the LS2 intake mod. I read your web page where you covered most of the swap. From the looks of it you used an LS2 intake, TB, the valley tray and the fuel rail. I have a couple questions regarding this swap. How did you get the LS2 TB to work with the LS4 connector? What else did you do to complete the LS2 intake/ TB swap? I'm sure there is something regarding the OPSU and MAP sensor. Any help is greatly appreciated."

"The LS2 intake and throttle body are unmodified. The lifter valley cover is modified in two areas. It has a crankcase vent line that is cut off flush and welded shut. Also, the OPSU boss was cut off and a new one made from aluminum rod welded on at an angle to clear the TB. The LS4 MAP sensor fits the LS2 intake. I replaced the TB connector with one from an LS2, there are two wires un-used. The LS4 has two separate sets of 5v ref and ground circuits, on the LS2 they are combined. The LS4 injectors are too short, you must use LS2 type injectors. The car has not been fully tuned yet, but I started by importing the LS2 injector flow rates and ETC settings to get it running."
