Default LS2 or LS6 intake?

I lost a rod bolt in my car a couple weeks ago and looking at going the FI route now, I am leaning toward a forged stock cube LS2 with a D1SC/front mount/E85. Curious to see which intake is better for FI because a friend of mine wants my LS6 intake/ported TB. If the LS2 is better for FI I will go that route, if not ill hold onto my LS6 setup. Thanks.

If you want a LS2 intake I have one that I will sell for $150 shipped to your door. It is off of a 07 C6 vette that only had 3500 miles on it. Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks,
Kyle@RevXtreme

I ran LS6 setup on my 9.4@143 setup @680rwhp, now running LS2 + NW 90mm TB on my 867rwhp setup.

Thanks for the answer John, it is mostly a street car, im going to shoot for ~700 WHP. Do the LS2's have the #7 issue that the LS1/6 intakes have?

Either intake will work fine. Whichever you can get the best deal on is the one for you.
