ls2 intake
Hopefully this doesn't turn out like the rest of the forums about ls2 intakes but here goes...
I am wanting to run a rear mount single turbo on my c6 and had come across some controversy over this ls2 intake vs ported ls6 intake vs fast 102 and on and on. Question is, is there much gain in upgrading the ls2 intake on a fi application?

If I were to address the intake manifold I would likely port the LS2 as opposed to going with a FAST or to the 'smaller opening' LS6.

I'm no expert but I recently read an article (I think in Vette magazine) that implied if you add more than about 50 lbs of torque with the standard ls2 car, you may start having transmisson problems. It said the 05-07 tranny was only rated for 450lbs (starting in 08, a new tranny is good up to 700 lbs).
