I *think*, IIRC that the throttle body is the big issue. LS2's is electronic and has a different bolt pattern than the LS6's cable operated throttle body. Also, the LS2 is larger.

LS6/LS1 throttle bodies on Corvettes were electrically controlled, but they were smaller (78mm) with a different bolt pattern. I think some folks tried to install the larger LS2 throttle body (90mm) flange on the LS6 intakes. Not sure how successful they were. If you don't want to spend the $$$ on a FAST, just get the LS2 manifold and throttle body ported. There are several forum venders that can help you. You won't get the HP as a FAST, but you will get an improvement.

Doesn't the firewall have to be altered somehow to get a FAST to fit on an LS2?

They have a new one that I saw at SEMA that fits with no modifications.

Spinmonster mods the intake to fit, so no fire wall mods are required. He can also port the intake and TB for you at a very reasonable price. If you check the forsale forum FAST's show up pretty regularly.
