Default Ls2 VS Ls1 intake

Will an LS2 intake fit an LS1 engine and is there any benefit? Power gains?

The lS2 intake is actually a downgrade, if you want to change yours go for an LS6

Nope.
LS2 is horrible. It actually flows less than the LS1 on the same engine. However, LS2 can be ported, and there are gains to be had, where the LS1 gets almost nothing. LS6 is much better.

The LS2 also has a 90mm TB, so that's a plus, but still swapping that for a LS1 intake hurts power.

Go with an LS6 intake..they are good up to 500RWHP depending on your application. There is a reason they are so popular, they are good!
