Default Need a new intake for boost. what one though?

hey guys i'm wanting a brand new intake and i was looking to buy a new ls6 intake but it's been discontinued. What other intake is capable of handling high hp and boost? I'm looking at around 1k rwhp and 25 or so # boost. I need it to fit with no clearance issues so i can still use factory hood and i'm not wanting to pay over $1k for the intake

No prob man, i ran into the same issue, so no cutting required at all. Get a regular ls1 vic jr, and then go onto google and type in
'nitrous outlet boosted elbow'
it should come right up, its a badass fabbed piece its awesome, and i havnt seen many if any other f bodys with it

Dyno test, LS6 vs Victor Junior intake.

LS6 make more power pretty much across the board. Magazine tests show similar results.

Still, with boost, the differences are probably not a concern.
