LT1/L99 Intake Q's

Well I currently have a stock LT1 intake on my car but I also aqquired a ported L99 intake a couple of months back, it is gasket matched and bored out for a bigger throttle body. I was wondering what the differences between the two were (other than port size) and would it be worth putting on my car or should I sell it. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

You already assume way too much in thinking the port sizes are different. It is an LT1 intake. The real question here is, is it worth anything after being blindly hacked on.

You should try not to assume right away people are idiots. Ever think that he meant the PORTED port size and not stock?

OP: Stock for stock, same thing.

Well I guess I will send it back to Lloyd Elliot since he's the one that hacked it up... Now I would appreciate it if you stayed out of my thread UNLESS you have something positive to contribute. Thanks.

You mean like telling you it is the same intake.

I have seen Lloyd post not to gasket match intakes which is where the "hacked up" comment came from.

My motor has the intake that was original to the car, and mine was originally an L99car, so I have an "L99 intake" on my LT1 and it seems to work.

Still don't understand what you mistakenly believe is different size wise, but at any rate you are wrong.

I posted a link to Lloyd saying gasket matching is not the way to go. Not that I think Lloyd is an authority.

If you guys only knew the half of things you would understand my comments better.
