Default LS6 or ported LS2?

They would both be about the same price in the end. Used LS2 is about $125-150+porting. Would the LS2 be a better upgrade from and LS1 intake then?

You would need a new throttle body to run the LS2, as it has a different bolt pattern. I say go with the LS6, then upgrade to a FAST if you want to down the road. You can always turn around and sell the LS6.
