Default Best Intake Manifold?

Which intake manifold is best. Fbody 2001-2002, z06 intakes on 2001 and 2002? Are there any differences? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

The 2001-2002 f-bodies all use the exact same intake as the 2001-2002 ZO6. I haven't seen any real gains to make the HOLLEY/LPE aluminum intake a serious consideration over the LS6 intake.

LS6 intake is hands down the best intake for the buck out there for our vehicles. The 01's and 02's were equipped from the factory with the LS6 intakes.

Thanks everybody

Yeah, I wouldnt expect much gains from changing only the intake. I am thinking about doing a cam swap so my as well change the intake while changing the cam.

Im thinking about getting the hot cam. <img border="0" alt="[fight]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_punch.gif" /> Dont beat me up. I know other cams are better but the price is right.

From what I understand, there is nothing available that will give you more power over an LS6 intake. UNLESS you drop the HUGEdollars on a Hogans sheet metal intake. and even then I havent seen any numbers on one of thier intakes yet.
