Do you mean LS1 vs. LS6?

The Z06 uses a LS6 intake manifold.

The Z06 intake makes way more power than the LS6 intake.

Just kidding, same exact pieces (both are LS6 intakes) except that one off of a Corvette will be missing the small bracket for the throttle cable because the Corvettes are 'throttle by wire'...many just use the bracket from their old LS1 intake when making the swap.

The Stock 2001-2002 F-body LS6 is 12561184.

The Z06 LS6 is 12573572.

A year ago or so Jay at AS did some flow tests on both intakes and determined that the F body LS6 out flowed the Z06. It wasn't by alot, but it was better.

Shouldn't the question be "Which Z06 intake???"

There's also the LS7 to consider technically in this "comparison". Now if we ask which one fits on my LS1, then we can discount the LS7.

I've heard that the LS6 and Zo6 intakes are the same. GM took the Zo6 intake from the vette and put it on the fbody in 01-02.
