Default Ls6 Intake to LS2 conversion?

I am in the process of getting the new Heads and cam installed and I want to put a 90mm TB on since I have been told that is the biggest restriction what does it take to convert to an LS2 intake? Yes, I no the FAST intake is the way to go but as we speak a very well known tuner is returning all of their FAST intakes due to leaking issues and I don't want to deal with that! I would have the LS2 intake ported.

Thanks

The LS2 intake is junk. People with LS2's that dont want to get the FAST are putting LS6 intakes on and gaining 10-15 so why would you want to get such an intake? FAST is the only way to go in terms of intakes unless you have a LS7 heads.

Yeah I know the FAST is the best for performance but they are having a lot of problems about leaking. I'm half tempted just to risk it I guess it isn't that big of a deal to put a new one on.

Darkness - I personally know multiple people who have had good results with the LS2 intake manifolds. I think a lot of it has to do with how high in the RPM band your cam makes power and of course tuning.

I have been to LS2 then to FAST and now back to LS6/Shaner and would never go back. LS2 just does not suck and FAST does.
