The difference is the older cars have an LS1 intake not an LS6. The LS6 is worth 5-10RWHP depending on mods over the LS1.

Yeah, you can. If you look at the bottom of each intake manifold LS6 has a flat bottom while the LS1 has recess bottom. LS6 intake have more volume inside than the LS1 because of this.
