Does an ls6 intake stick up higher than a ls1 intake

In other words I have an EdelBrock tower brace and it hugs my ls1 intake pretty much just touching it...When I swap to a ls6, will this be a problem..or does it sit at the same height as the ls1?

i think it actually sits lower since you have to grind down the tabs underneath

The only reason to grind the tabs on the bottom is to let a stock LS1 coolant pipe run under it. other than that is dimensionally the same, except the floor is flat instead of having a wave in it.

Ditch the tower brace as they really don't help much.

I have the strut tower brace and when I installed my LS6 mani it did touch the brace. I took it off and ground it down some where it hit the manifold and good to go.

i can't really say the manifold is taller because I installed solid mm's the same time the manifold went on. Something made my manifold sit about 1/2" higher though.

I have a cheap single bar strut tower brace on my 2001 ss and its nowhere near touching. I had the brace on my old 98 car from when it was stock too and was nowhere near hitting the intake either.
