Default Question about the LS2 intake.

Oops, meant LS2 intake.

I know all about the LS6 being a good step up for an LS1 but I never hear of anyone running an LS2 intake. Is there a reason for this? The LS2 made more power off the showroom floor so I figured the intake is probably a step up from the LS1. Am I wrong? Does it not flow well? Will it bolt up to an LS1 as easily as an LS6 will? Just curious. I've seen a lot of LS2s for sell lately but no one ever seems to want them? I figure there is a good reason for that but I wanted to find out for sure.

MAP Sensor location is an issue if I remember right. (Front) on the LS2 and (rear) on the LS1/LS6. FAST cam out out with the 90mm and now the 92mm which also probably hurt the need/want/desire for the stock LS2 intake. Fuel rails are a bit different for the LS2 compared to the LS1/LS6 as well.
