Default Intake Swap Possible?

I am new to the corvette world and was wondering. Is it possible to change out the stock LS1 intake with a LS6 intake off a Z06 of the same year? "Say 2002". I am not planning any forced induction of any sort and a FAST 92 is pretty pricey.

If so would you see any performance gains if a swap is possible?

yes, its a popular swap - you see guys all the time buying up the Z06 intakes along with cam, heads etc.

If you have an 02, you already have the LS6 intake manifold.

All 2002 and new came with the LS6 intake.

I am in Austin. If you need some help sometime, look me up. I have a ported smoothed and painted FAST90.

Don't listen to those guys. They have no idea what they are talking about. Buy an LS6 intake and then send me yours from your car. It's not worth anything anyway! Just kidding man. Your car should already have the LS6 intake.

Perhaps he meant LS6 intake plus some other heads and cam, and not the 243 heads and the LS6 cam.
