Who has an LS2 Intake on an LS1 ?? Does anyone have one working on an ls1 yet??
I know there are issues with the fuel rail, map sensor and throttle body size.
I would like to use a ported throttle body on the LS2 intake and reuse my fuel rails if possible. I know there are larger potential gains with going to a 90MM throttle body. But I suspect that an LS2 intake with a ported throttle body will be better than my 99 intake(for sure) or an ls6 intake with a ported throttle body too. This would be a better starting point when I do headers and cam this winter. This would leave me open to more potential down the road as well.
Any thoughts??

I am using one with a FAST 90mm TB. I used stock fuel rails which have been modified to eliminate the crossover. I then welded some 3/8" pipe connectors onto the ends of each rail, and used braided hoses and AN connectors as supply lines.

Hey Lon,u should try and get some rails and mod them along with the fittings and sell them as a kit.Maybe contact Nasty Performance or another sponsor and have them sell he kit for fair price.
I'd surley get in line for a complete kit to put a ls2 intake on my car

The problem I see is that the LS2 fuel rail doesn't have a fuel pressure regulator made into it. Does anyone know how to solve this? I guess maybe you'd have one installed in the line somewhere?

Only the 1997-98 vettes got a 2 line return system with regulator.

I just installed 424. Waiting for AFR heads done by TEA. Chevy dealer wants a test car to do before and after, will give me the Ls2 manifold and 90MM TB.
When I get it I would like to know what I have to do. Any info would be apreciated.

I have an intake here and will have rails available very soon. The lower injector holes are slightly bigger and will require a different O-ring I am working on that as well. I will be selling the intake with our rails as kits.
