Are you rebuilding your motor or do you just want more performance, If its a rebuild forget the ls6 stuff alltogether and get some of the many tired and true components available from the vendors here. cnc ported heads, a custom cam etc. Will make way more power than a regular ls6.

I know because I have an LS1 with the LS6 block. I have ran the #s.
I have also ran the #s on the intake, its not a "similar" to an LS6, it is an LS6 intake.
The only difference is the heads and cam in the later year LS1s.
Come over and look at my LS1, theres no way to tell if it was an LS1 or an LS6.

Found this, and while there are advantages, it doesn't warrant the price of a new block:

Unless there's something more.

The fact remains that they are not exactly the same. FYI F-body "LS6" intake has no drive-by-wire connections (like corvette) since we have different TBs.
Also f-body (01/02) flows slightly better than a corvette "LS6".
So "similar" is different than "clone" and therefore not "the same".

Ah yes, its all coming back to me now. You were the one arguing about AIs pricing structure with multiple well established members (and customers of AI) just like you're doing now. What is wrong with you damn newbies anyways

Dude, you're digging your hole deeper. There aren't many I would take advice from on this website, but PredatorZ IS one of them. Stop arguing and listen and you'll learn more.

I have been a member longer than you FYI....
I'm not arguing. You guys seem to make huge deals out of nothing. Its all good conversation to me. You can't always be right, and its ok to be wrong.
Tell me what I'm missing. The drive by wire connection is on the TB?? You run the #s on my LS6 intake, and it comes up as a LS6 in intake?
Edit: Part # off my intake is 12573572

Hey guys,
I've been researching on buying an LS6, but just thought would it be possible to order the individual parts that would make it an LS6?
Sorry if its such a noob question
I don't know too much about internals......... Since I already have an LS1 thats going to be taken apart soon. figured it'd be worth a shot

There aren't many people I take their advice without thinking through what they are telling me. And predator Z is one of the few that I take their advice without question. I wouldn't exactly argue with him he knows his stuff period. Also Lemons have you been down to H'ville dragway this year? I've been and haven't seen you.

My car has been down for the longest... My short block is on its way and got a few other things to buy. I hope to have it up and running by mid September, I'm driving to Tampa.
We are all shooting to get our cars back together in that time frame... Buddy with his 427 C6, other with a 451 nitrous drag car, one with a D1sc Z28, and my buddy from Tampa with his cam/nitrous C5Zo6. We will all make a trip down to run the cars then.
I did get invited to go with a friend that wants to take his '12 Challenger down.. I might try to talk my buddy into letting me take his TBSS down he just bought (the one with the D1 build) since he works weekends and wants to know what it runs.
Are the only TNT night this year on Fridays?
