the 6.0 manifold is designed for torque at lower rpms, plus i dont think it will fit under an f body cowl

From what I've read on here the LS6 manifold is better than the LS2. If your talking about the truck manifold it will not fit the f-body.

The 6.0l truck intake is the same as the 4.8l and 5.3l manifolds. They have the same part numbers. The truck intake will cost quite a bit of upper rpm power over the LS6 intakes. This topic has been hashed out on the truck side (pt.net). IMO swapping to a truck intake would be a hugh step backwards in performance. In short, not worth the effort.

Good luck,

Richard

I would lean towards the Ls6 route over that intake.

Truck intake will not fit on a Camaro/Firebird without some major surgery.
