GM 12552138 intake?

I got a GM 12552138 intake and was totally unaware that there were different LT1 intake casting numbers other then 93 model years. I plan to send my heads and intake to AI for porting. Will this "L99" intake fit properly and flow that same as a ported stock 95 LT1 camaro intake after porting or should I use my stock LT1 intake for porting?

I just use your stock intake, I wasn't aware of the different castings either, other than that off 93 f-bodies.

It is not an "L99" intake it is more like a 96-97 intake. My L99 happened to have one but a friend got one on a LT1.

There are like 5 castings the only notable difference among them for our purposes is the 92-3 ones without the crossover trough.

The 138 intake is what is on my motor now and was ported by AI.

It is an LT1 intake, and I have one ported sitting on my AI ported aluminum heads. Seems to work just fine.

Basically I have exactly what you are saying you want to do and I am saying it works fine. You are overcomplicating a simple thing.

I am just making sure that I won't spend the money in powder coating and porting to find out in the the end that it won't be worth my wild.
