LS2 Intake manifold When is the LS2 intake going to be released?
Somebody on this board must have an inside scoop.
It must be soon because the C6's are starting to pop up.
I guess I am impatient!
Thanks in advance,
Dave

Does anyone else suspect that the LS2 and FAST 90mm intake are one and the same?
I heard the LS2 is a 3 piece intake like the FAST piece and the TB's are interchangeable also.
Does anyone else think GM had this intake developed by the aftermarket and maybe just changed the appearance of the "stock" piece a bit to look more OEM?
Something to think about. Maybe when the LS2 is more readily available a side by side comparison can be made.
Hopefully the LS2 will be cheaper since most of the time OEM parts like that are.

Don't kid yourself..GM doesn't relie on aftermarket people to develope their intake for the new Corvette..u can get 1 if someone will give you the vin# to a 05 vette..I'll have them on the lot on or about the 20th of August

a couple on the way though. 
But it's an "EX" Vin so I don't know if they put thosein the system or not (pre-production test mule).

That VIN will not work..car is a prototype..will be crushed when their finished with it...if ya want a real vin I have some...I should have C6's on the lot in less than a month...been ordering them 4 the last few weeks...have production dates and estimated arival dates..ordered 8 more today
Looking at the scanned pages that were posted, "three moldings bonded together by friction welding" does not sound like the FAST intake to me. Eliminates one potential source of MAP leakage by welding the intake to become one piece.

i think its known.
ive heard that the oly reason a ls2 manafold will outflow a ls6 is because of the TB opening is larger, if you are or were able to glue a bigger opening on a ls6 it would out flow due to the welding of the ls2.

I have a LS2 intake in my hand as I type this. I got a hookup with several of them
I also talked to a GM Powertrain engineer today for about 1/2 hour about this intake and throughly went over it with him.
It is basically a LS6 intake that has been friction welded (not good) and has a 90mm throttle body opening that uses the same TB mounting holes as the FAST intake. The friction welding is a sloppy process and the ports do not match up perfectly. There is a lip where the pieces are joined and welded together. I can take pics tomorrow and post them up. But with a little dremeling it should turn out to be a nice intake.
Also, the MAP sensor has been moved to the front of the intake, and a stock LS1/LS6 fuel rail will not fit. You either need to use a LS2 fuel rail and adapt it to fit stock injectors or run aftermarket rails. GM switched to shorter injectors which is why the stock fuel rail doesnt fit, and the injector bungs in the intake require a new thicker O-Ring.
