Default LS2 intake VS. LS6 intake which is better?

I don't even know if an LS2 intake would bolt onto an LS1 but just wondering if the LS6 is still better?

I've heard of people dissing the LS2 before but I am pretty sure it is set up for a 90mm throttle body which has to be a big plus. Interesting question though, hope someone has the answer.

I saw an LS6 intake with a 90mm TB but I don't remember where.

I'm not 100% but I think the intake ports are different on the LS2. But you might get better results if you put this in the right forum.

The LS6 flows better than the LS2 intake. The larger TB opening doesn't do much for the LS2 over the LS6.

The LS2 Intake is similar to the LS1 Intake except above 5000rpm where the larger 90mm TB helps it out. Overall the LS6 is still the best of the Factory Intakes.

A properly ported LS2 intake and 90mm tb will outflow a FAST 90/90 out of the box. A ported FAST is still king though.
