6.0 intake on ls1
6.0 intake on ls1 i was wondering what to expect as far as power..im not trying to gain any, just dont want to loose a whole bunch. Ive heard they flow better till 5k which is exactly what i want. Going to put a stock ls1 out of a 02 camaro in my 88 4x. How exactly will the intake work with the stock ls1 cam and heads? Also, it will have the stock tb and injectors from the 6.0. sorry i just kind of jumped into this project with not alot of research, so im trying to make up for lost time.

Is it a LS2 intakeor one from a truck?
If a truck then it'd likely be a backwards step. They are designed for lower end torque than high rpm HP so it's nt really the best option for a Fbody.
LS2 intake in theory should be better than LS1. However better gains have generally be seen with the LS6 intake on stock cubed motors.

yes 6.0 from a truck, its going, in a truck. Thats why i went with it. i was just wondering how it would do with the 5.7 heads and cam..didnt want to loose a bunch of power..im taking a 5.7 ls1 engine, and putting it in a pickup with the 6.0 accessories/intake etc..
well, the main reason is that you cant use the ls1/6 mani with the truck accessory drive system, and you cant use the ls1/6 style accessories on the truck because of the alternator mounting location hitting the steering box. As far as using the ls1/6 mani with the vette accessories with the alternator up high, it would work, but i cant seem to find any vette accessories for sale and i have access to a complete truck accessory set with the manifold.

Might want to try performancetrucks.net, I'm sure some of those guys have swapped to the LS6/FAST intake, you can see how much they lost. 99% of the people on here drive f-bodies/vette's and the truck intakes wouldn't even fit.

The truck intakes have been tested head to head with the ls1, ls6, and fast intakes. I don't have the magazines in front of me, but from what I recall, you lose nothing over the ls1, until over 5k rpm you lose nothing over the ls6, and the fast had to spin almost as high as the ls6 to outflow the truck intakes. If you are using the truck accessories, there is no reason not to use it.
