Just get a Ls1 intake. 650.00 plus shipping is crazy. I bet you'd only gain about 7hp over a ls1 on a cold motor. Once it heats up you'll probly make less power then the LS4 intake.
That being said. Buy it and let us know what kind of results you see out of it.

I was wondering if you guys think the ls1 > stage 2 ls4 as far as horsepower and I was wondering if anyone would be willing to mod an ls6 intake for me to work on our cars

I too was wondering if any one could mod one of the ls6 intakes for me since porting our stock ls4 intake just doesn't gain us much. Plus power to cost the ls6 is a lot better than a ported ls4. Now that I'm thinking anout this Alabama guy said he might be willing to mod the ls6 intakes and sell them to us. Maybe he will chime in here and clarify this?
Has anyone tried to enlarge the neck on the LS4 intake?
It necks down to clear the OPSU, but it clears it by quite a bit. What about cutting out the necked down portion of the intake and reshaping that area to either just clear (keeping the OPSU stock) or making it fully round by modifying the OPSU boss.
Either way you should see a significant improvement and it would be the simpliest/cheapest upgrade option.

The Weiand intakes are decent intakes for what they are. The results I have seen net that they make just barely noticable gains and only in the upper RPM areas. As Alabama Guy stated that with the limited room (both to the bottom of the hood and between the valve covers) there is NOT alot of room for air to pass over it to cool it down.
I have seen several in person and they are pretty nice looking pieces (the guy that won the car show at LS Fest from Athens, AL has a polished Weiand intake), so I could see from a show and shine point of view. They typically are really nice looking intakes.
The biggest argument from the f-body crowd is the power per dollar argument. Since these intake are not but minutely better and only in a very small range (for typical people) then just spend the $100 less and get a LS6 intake. If most people are going to take the dive to spend the money on an aftermarket intake most people just spend the extra money and get the ~15RWHP AND Torque and not just 5 or 7.
I hope this helps.

I know that Travis (Alabama Guy) is making an ls1 intake swap kit, including the modded valley tray and alt. bracket. I wanted to know if this modded valley tray would also work with the ls6 intake swap and retain DOD. If it does, I just need to find someone that is willing to mod the ls6 intake to work. Thanks.
It should. The most you might have to do is take the plug off and extend it like this:
LS2 Swap
If anything, that intake neck might get in the way of the plug and you'd have to do that ^.

You're not breaking any rules if you post pictures of your swap with details and potential gains.
No sidekicks please.
