LS2 intake on an LS1??? Is the LS2 intake supposed to be better than the LS6 intake?? I am curious b/c I've read some threads where people were claiming they were going to put an LS2 intake on their LS1's??

It will be interesting to see results on big cube applicatons...But initial results do not look so good for the LS2..Especially on stock cube apps.

I thought the quality was ok. Had to do some clean up just like the LS6 intake. I got mine all on and had a lot more problems trying to get the FAST tb to work. The stupid thing sticks when closed and hangs open a bit. I have a 422 and it is real responsive at low speed. My tranny pump died before I could get any track time. I am swapping to a 4L80e now so it will be difficult to compare. Not worth the money so far as what I can tell.

We had several intake tests done including:
LS6 intake on a 5.7L
LS2 intake on a 5.7L
FAST intake on a 5.7L
You can see the results here:

We will also have some results regarding an LS6 intake on a LS2 in the next day or two as well as some surprising truck intake results.

Power numbers in sig. This is with an LS2 intake. angelo
Curious thought... since the LS2 uses a 90 mm, velocity will slow, thus cooling the intake charge a little...less air compression means less heat... wonder if it makes any difference at all.

Car feels great. Tune for the ride home was quite lean down low and up high? Now time to get that intercooler issue resolved. I will be sending you a pm, and may stop by your shop here in a month or so. angelo
