Does this LS6 intake have everything I need to swap to my 2000 LS1 C5?




Says comes with fuel rails and throttle body (not pictured) off a 2002 Camaro SS

all you really need is the intake itself, everything else will transfer over from your car so yes it will work... you can reuse your old sensors, rails, injectors, throttle body, etc, or you can use what comes with it... the injectors on the ls6 intake might be a lb or 2 more than your injectors, if you decide to use those you should verify the part numbers on them to find out for sure and let the tuner know that information when you get to that point

Recommend new gaskets, retention of current injectors (replace O rings when swapping) and reuse your throttle body (can't recall of the Camaro's were using DBW in 2002). Be prepared to either replace the steam lines under the manifold on your car with the LS6 version or to trim the bottom of the manifold so it will fit with the existing steam lines. Torque is 106 inch lbs, so will need a 1/4" drive torque wrench. These manifolds are easy to over torque and damage.

I've always heard it was 89 inch pound. Torque in 2 stages. First at 44 inch pound and the sencond pass at 89 inch pound.

4th gen fbodies were drive by cable. I would swap all of your existing parts into the new intake. (if they're known to work, why mess with it)

id clean the new intake as well, wouldn't hurt to remove any potential oil/mung that's built up over x years.

You are correct. I recently had my valve covers off and got confused with the torque spec for them. There is a specific torque sequence for the manifold, and as you say it is a 2 pass process.

The 2000 was the only year they used the smaller 26 lb injectors, so definitely a tuning change needed when going to the 28 lb Z units.
