LS1 intake vs LS6 intake... hmmmm
with the EFI vic jr do you have to have an elbow? Id like to do something like place a TB right on top, then a maf on top of that, with an aircleaner to tp it off.
So has anyone seen a setup like that?

BUT, the newest trend in NA LSx engines is the tunnel ram style manifold with 4500 flange EFI throttle bodies. No more of that goofy *** looking tapered manifolds.
If you look in the summit catalog you can get an EFI version for 100 to 200 dollars more than the LS6 and you can get a sheet metal elbow for $225 (PM me if you want the place). Then if you mill the intake and elbow down a little you can get them to fit with maybe a small amount of modification to the cowl.
Zmonster may be interested though, sounds like he wants that style intake.
Oh yes, zmonster really wants that intake style. I just need the money to do it...
If I do it though I will find a way to attatch the TB right on top of the manifold, then a maf ontop of that, with a big, beautiful air cleaner....

I would just think you would have a hard time fitting it in, even with the 4" cowl, the maf and TB would fit I imagine but the air cleaner would be difficult, I was just looking today at air cleaner drop plates for a 59 el camino with a 455 stroker, and the only drop plates I found were for 14" diameter filters and the plate had a 5.125" opening, and you could get up to 1.25" drop and I was looking at 3" height filters for that setup, the el camino only has about 2" of clearence between the carb and hood. So a 1.25" drop with a 3" filter puts it at 1.75" total, but then you add the top hat and that adds another good .75" or so to the total height and thats too high, I need to find a flat 14" diameter filter lid.
But if you do do it post some pics!
That would be somewhere around like 8" in crap on top of the intake, it may look kinda funny?
/\ see thats what Im thinking, that it would be soooo tall with tb and maf that it would be impracticall.
I dont know...but tb on manifold would still fit under the widshield wiper cowl, so figure a 90mm piece of tubing to connect the tb to maf and button those right next to eachother and it might look alright...
Guess we wont know till I do it,
And I wont do it till I get a job...
Dont hold your breath folks!

if you dont plan on getting decent heads and aggresive camshaft then no. If you like your stock or near stock power levels then the LS1 intake manifold is just fine. If you plan on getting an aggressive cam in your car you will find the stock manifold is restrictive past 6000 rpms. It is one of the better investments you can make and im sure many will agree.

Z monster you could always strap the throttle body to the intake, get a SD tune and just use an air horn, or mount air cleaner to TB, the SD tune would knock out the extra space taken up by the MAF.
