Intake Swap

I'm looking for more info. I've looked at the link LS1/LS6 intake swap. I'm not sure if this is a straight drop with the addition of the fuel rail and larger diameter throttle body. I'm not wanting to be chopping parts and fabricating pieces if I don't have to. I've seen a video on youtube ( LS2 intake manifold with tb swap on LS4 - YouTube ) that shows an LS2 intake being used. I spoke to someone at ChiX performance in Roswell GA today he also told me that I would need to change the intake in order to see the potential the LS4 has. He also pointed out that I would need to disable DoD due to a large number of cam failures that most cars have been experiencing. Just a little point in the right direction before I start spending money and investing time.
