From what ive heard from the local shop.

Yes

and No.


I've heard they will fit and work. But won't really net you any real gains. as far as intake upgrade you'll see more by doing an LS6 intake on an LS1.

Yes and Yes, provided you are making BIG power above 6,500 RPM.

Better setup if your engine can support it is the FAST LSX intake and the LS2 TB. LS2 intake is probably inferior to the LS6 on a 346 block. You'll need a good size H/C setup to really do better than the LS6 intake with a ported LS1/6 TB.

testing shows the LS6 intake is better, even though it has a smaller TB (75mm vs 90mm). I think above 6000rpm that may not be the case.

I agree with above, either get a big TB for your LS6, OR get the FAST intake and a large TB.

Everything is combination specific. I know a few people who have swapped out their LS6 manifolds for the LS2 90 mm intake and TB and have had nice gains.

These were on stock cube big HP turbo cars. Switching to the 90 mm will cause you to loose a bunch of torque down low (40+) but then big it all back up and then some on the big end.
