You will likely be disappointed in just changing out the intake. In the Chevy LS1/LS6 Performance book, by Christopher P. Endres, a statement is made that the change out of the intake is the last mod to be done after H/C and headers. Until that point, the stock intake is more than sufficient to handle the air requirements of the LS1

As already stated, the LSX intake manifolds aren't worth the freight unless you go with bigger cubes or a power adder, then a 90/90 setup is the way to go.
