LS2 bolt-ons to LS1 Own a 2006 GTO and just got a 1998 Corvette. GTO is being modded piece by piece while the Vette is pretty much bone stock. When I change out the heads and intake manifold/throttle body in the GTO, what kind of gain could I expect to see out of them if I just take the used pieces and have them bolted straight onto the Vette? I expect to have all of them ported/polished beforehand, and the heads have been upgraded with dual valve springs for the GTO's cam. Dyno tune would follow. Any guesses?

Well if your set-up is this:
Vette: 853/241 heads, and LS1 intake
GTO: 243 heads, and ls6 or ls2 intake
Swapping it over, especially having P+P work done on the 243s could be worth some good hp. I would think you would need a cam to really make the heads/intake shine. Doesn't have to be a big cam though, could be as simple as a TR224 or TR228. I don't see why you couldn't pick up 30-40 from the cam, 15 from the intake and another 25 or so from the heads. Thats 70-80 hp
