    90mm LS2 intake

    What do I have to do to a LS2 intake to make it work on a 1998 LS1? I figure that a 90mm LS2 intake is the cheapest, highest flowing intake. A modded LS6 will out flow it,but most places want alot of money to mod an ls6 intake.

    I think the ls2 intakes are completely different and can't be modded to fit an ls1.

    Don't know a whole lot about the Gen III and Gen IV LS-series blocks, but I would have to agree that the LS2 intake , though looks similar, is a different design and would not fit the LS1.

    If you want a 90mm intake, get a F.A.S.T. LSx intake. Anyone who is anyone has one of those on their LS block.

    Regardless of flow numbers, stock LS6 intakes usually make more power that the LS2.

    Get a FAST LSX intake and TB. Not only does it make more power, it looks soooooo much better, expecially with their fuel rails!

    A Modded Ls6 makes a few more horse than a 90mm LS2. I just read it in a Lsx intake comparo. LS6 intake $300-468, then to mod it from TPIS $400! A unmodded lS2 intake $300-$400.


    See my point? I do not want to spend over $500 on an intake.

    Intakes are expensive.....and for less than 500 you are only going to get an unmodded ls6 or maybe Aluminum BBK (I think its a BBK?).

    I thought you were trying to save money here. Again, not only will the LS6 make more power stock, untouched, but it WILL be cheaper. Why? Because you can run a regular cable style stock ported TB with the LS6. The LS2 only accepts a drive by wire TB, or an EXPENSIVE aftermarket TB.

    Again, and finally, just get the damn LS6 intake. I don't care what that article you read said...

    What other manufacture out there offers a good intake manifold? I gather from reading that "FAST" is the prefered...but are they the only game in town out there taht is worth a crap?. Also fot the TB, What is the biggest TB i can put on a stock (1999 TA) intake maifold?... without comprimising (IE i don't want error codes to pop-up and won't go out of CA smog lagalitites)

    Thanks for the help
