Generally, an LS6 intake makes better numbers than an LS2 due to the fact that the ls2 intake leaks air so to speak.

Definitely an LS6. Preferably a ported ls6 intake.

With the ls2, you would also have to change out the throttlebody, cable, ect.

Beleive it or not the ls6 intake outflows the ls2 intake both untouched stock, regardless the ls2 has a 90 mm opening. But a properly ported ls2 manifold makes better power Overall. Nobody has been able to make any good gains bye porting ls6 intakes.
