Default Ls2 intake manifold

Would an LS2 intake manifold work on a LS1 with the stock LS1 throttle body? Would there be a power difference between the two?

An ls2 intake manifold is great if you have it worked..ONLY if it is worked. From all the dyno comparisons ive seen a ls6 will outflow any stock ls2 you put it up against.A ported ls2 although i have seen flow numbers dead on and also higher then an out of the box fast 90. The money you could save by having a ls2 ported will save you maybe 1-200 dollars over a fast.

DUDE...dont run a ls2. Been there done that. Besides, if you dont know if you can run a
ls1 throttle body or not on a ls2 intake that screams " im clueless", and you dont need to try it. By the time you buy injector adapters, throttle cable adapters, a 90mm tb, and different fuel rails to make that piece of **** work, you'll have $700 in it, and still make less rwhp than a ls1 intake! ASK ME HOW I KNOW!!! Stupidest thing Ive done (for an intake)
