99 injectors are 26lbs while LS6 are 28lbs, both will interchange, just the 99s will not handle as much power.

Alright, well maybe if I find a cheap ls6 manifold I can sell the ls1.

Well it looks like I'll be finding a different cam, as the guy on here isn't responding to me (I really hope I can get some money back). Like many of you said earlier, the ms4 is a bit big for the ls1 intake, so would a .230 duration .610 lift work well?

Somehow the cam magically showed up at my house this morning... Hmmm, not sure what to give for feedback since it took almost two weeks with no communication.

Sell the damn ls1 intake and put on a ls6 or fast. Not doing this would be like wiping then taking a ****, makes no ******* sense at all lol! Any cam in the 230+ duration range will be limited by the ls1 intake. As others have said, there is no point in running a cam with a 6500+ peak, when you got an intake loping off air flow around 6k.

So I've heard... I want to get this running first, and that's all I'm concerned about right now. Once I get things figured out, THEN I will upgrade.

I agree that the LS1 intake will kill the OP's top end, but I also see what he is saying and think he should go ahead as planned. Sure it won't run nearly what it could, but swapping an intake on an lsx engine is easier than most other motors since there are no coolant passages or distributors to pull. It's not like he is doing a huge mismatch on something hard/expensive to swap later.
