Default LS2 Intake

I can get a good deal on an LS2 intake assmebly (way cheaper than an LS6) I'm planning ahead for when I decide to sell the Maggie. Since I'll be boosting will the intake even matter? If not I'll just find a cheapy ls1 that's lying around and use that.

I've read a lot of junk about the LS2 not being very good on a mild ls1, but I was wondering if boost would be a different story.. plus I get a 90mm TB. I think I know the answer, but I'd like to get some confirmation...

You need a ported TB and a cam / power adder combo that can make power on the big end for the 90 mm combo to be beneficial.

There is nothing wrong with the LS2 intake.

I detect some sarcasm there ... TTs aren't fast with all that "turbo lag"... My three reasons. A P S

To me I've just rationalized that while the maggie is fun and looks cool, it just doesn't cut it. Why should I spend a few grand doing a cam, pulleys, Alky and not even come close to touching what APS could do without those, and basically have as much power as I want. Plus there are plenty of people that don't want to go all out and will be happy buying a maggie from me for a few grand.
