Default Install of Holley v LS6 Intake...

Is the install of the Holley Intake Manifold any different than the LS6 Intake Manifold. I will be getting one of these within the next two weeks and I am still debating on which one to get...I've heard all about the differnt issue with each one...heat soak, fitment and whatever else...but now I'm looking at how hard it would be to install...any advice???

I dont have first hand experience, but have read that proper sealing is a problem. Do a search. Make sure you remove the little green plastic holders for the knock sensor wires, they might hold the manifold up. If it runs weird, it's probably sucking air somewhere.

LS6 is WAAAYYYY easier to install. I've had both. the holley requires a gasket <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> , not any power difference from my dyno runs. LS6 is the way to go.

If you ever plan on running boost, get the Holley. It is a pain in the a$$ to install. Also you can get it pollished and it looks sweet.
