Default LS6 intake- how tall?

Does anyone know how tall the LS6 intake manifold is from the valley area to the very top? I am going to try to measure mine when I get home tonight but mine is still on the car, not sure how accurate of a measurement I can get.

Out of curiosity, why do you want to know?

I am doing an LS1 conversion and I want to see how big of a roots blower I can put on it.

Had my intake off a few weeks ago, I could have measured it then, but it's back on the car now.

99% sure they are the same size as LS1 intakes

if you are going to put a roots charger on a F body, you are going to have to cut the fire wall. for just about every other application, the snout of the charger is going to be your hood clearance issue most likely

It's actually not going into an f-body, but I still may require a hood scoop of some sort, I am just trying to find out ahead of time, thanks.

I would rather not have one at all that is why I was trying to find out how tall the LS6 intake was. This is a non-fbody install.

what's it going into? check over in the conversion / hybrids section. I'm sure you might find some better info there.
