You would be far beeter off with a LS6 intake & a ported stock TB. We don't see any gains w/the LS2 unless it is a FI application then they are ideal. If you go heads/cam then the FAST 92 is the best bet w/our 95mm TB.

you will need to lengthen your map sensor wire as its located on the front and not the rear. you will need a seperate throttle cable bracket as there is no way to attach the ls1/ls6 bracket. any 4 bolt aftermarket 90mm t/b will work. i went with aftermarket rails with mine as it was just easier to me. Tracy at revextreme should be able to hook you up if you want to buy new when it comes to the t/b and rails. Scroggin has the bracket. i think thats it.

Thnx ws6njax!

We have the fuel rails for the LS2....just need to specify short LS injectors or the longer LS1's. The LS2 takes a larger diameter injector.
