Default ls6 intake to ls1 intake

Long story short Im having money issues with paypal and holidays are coming up and I need some money before Christmas. My current setup is a 05' LQ9 with 317 heads, 232/240 .596/.608 114+2 LSA comp cam package from TSP, edelbrock longtubes, ls6 intake, ported ls7 oil pump. Made 384whp. If I wanted to change out the ls6 intake for the ls1 intake would I need to get it re-tuned? Or would I be okay to run the ls1 intake? Of course the Ls6 intake would be for sale if that were the case.

Isn't worth the trouble for a few hundred bucks if you ask me. Can't you find something else to sell?

If you remove the intake, sell it for $300, and then pay about the same amount for a good re-tune, how are you saving any money?

that was my first thought. you might be able to get away with it but the ls6 deff outflows the ls1 decently. that why one is about $300 used and the other $100 if your lucky.

I'm not lookin to use the ls1 intake for a very long time, only 4-5 weeks, like i stated earlier I had some issues with Paypal. $1500 is lost and my bank and paypal both have to run their investigations. The car only see's maybe 500 miles in the winter, I only drive it when I have to. my bank says the money will be back in my account beginning of January.

I'm an engineering major and can't take up a part time job, all my time is spent at school.

**** happens and I know it sounds like a stupid question to ask about switching from ls6 to ls1 but I don't think you guys understood my situation. I'm only trying to get by for about a month, after I get the money back I'll be going back to the ls6 intake. But If switching intakes doesn't work that's fine I have other things to sell, I was just looking at all my options.

Thanks for all the input
