Maximum allowable warpage on LS6 intake Does anyone know if there is a spec or limit that the factory intake can be warped before it will no longer seal?
When I had mine removed, I put a machinist rule across both sides and it showed it had a slight bow out in the center. My passenger side is running 4% lean, plus there is a slight miss under no load/light load throttle conditions.
TIA.

The 10 bolts should take care of any warp problems, as they will un-warp it as you tighten. You could also try some new gaskets. BYUNSpeed sells a comp cams port gasket kit mainly for FAST's (since they don't come with them), but they will work in LS6's too.
