Good question, but since it's not showing any gains,I'm not going to worry about it.

Why did g.m. use a faulty fuel sending unit, or faulty seat tracks, or faulty col. lock. or faulty rear dif. seals or....................

LS7 intake will not fit on LS2's and LS1/6's. LS7 head is a modified C5R heads with 12* valve angle.

I'd be interested in seeing what an LS6 intake would do on an LS2 motor.

I just got the April 05 Hot Rod where they 'flow the LS2". Different cams, intakes and exhaust.

I will run to the bookstore and look for the April issue--are there any interesting combo;s that stood out--everyone who has tested found the lsx intake far superior--I am currently mounting an ls2 TB to my fast for idle and tuning ease and from various accounts there seems to be little lose of power with the conversion over the virtually untunable TPIS--

I just finished a Fast 90 intake with a LS2 and it runs great and idles like the old stock TB. Have to tune but am optimistic on power.
I would expect a LS2 intake and TB would be a very good combo for FI or big cubes where you are pulling/pushing more air through it.
