ls1/ls6 intake

[mooseknuckles]

So I'm thinkin of swaping my truck intake on my lq4 for a ls1/ls6 intake, a typhoon intake, or the FAST intake, what all do I need to make this work, other than alot of money?...

I have this saved in my favorites.

thanks thats helps a little...

for the money of the FAST setups, I'd get close to a whole l92 head and intake combo (assuming you have the 4" bore to run it).

[mooseknuckles]

yeah...it is alot of $$ for very little gain....

I think the FAST is what you put on for that list bit of gain you need.

...just tryin to get a better lookin intake on there, but there really is no cheap way of doin it!....ls1's are cheaper to buy, the ls6 is beter, but more money, and buy the time it's ready to go I could buy a typhoon...but then I would need injectors and stuff, and the fast is just crazy expensive.....

How do you tell the difference between the ls1 and ls6 intake ?

[mooseknuckles]

the bottom of an ls1 is flat, and the ls6 is angled...

Thank you..

Ok, now which one is it ??

I read somewhere that some of the 2002 camaro/firebird ls1's had the ls6 intake. Any truth to this ?

ok...I could have it backwards.....also the ls6 has no egr provision, and after 2001 all ls1 cars came with the ls6 intake...

Thanks...Good to know.

So let me get this straight! Your replacing the truck manifold to lose torque, to gain RPM and to make your motor pretty? Just how much does this gain ya and is it cost effective? Wouldn't a nice engine cover change the looks cheaper? Not trying to be a butt as I haven't got mine on the road yet and changing it is easier now than later.

Starting in '01 All LS6 & LS1 use the same intake, Looking at the bottom is the ONLY 100% way of knowing, 49 state 99/00 Vettes didnt have EGR But still had the old intake & most get peddeled off as LS6 intakes.

yeah....somethin like that. as for cost-effectiveness, thats what I'm trying to find out.....right now it's just an idea...

[mooseknuckles]

thanks cline...

Okay,I gotta admit my Intake without a cover is BUTT UGLY! Kinda like me

[Kainedogg]

Toss an ss cover on the intake.

[mooseknuckles]

I actually like the truck intake bare rather than cover it up with one of those crappy covers......but the ls6 intake screams bad ass...

I think they look alright when painted.

^thats the l92 style truck manifold isn't it?
the old style is a little less attractive unless worked down with a dremel.
