Default Ls6 Manifold Vs. Typhoon

i currently have a stock 98 ls1 manifold and i am considering buying one out of the two listed...LS6 or Typhoon. i would eliminate the problem and just buy a f.a.s.t, but that is a little steep for my pockets rights now. What do you guys think?

go with the typhoon.....a lot cheaper than the fast, if you ever go FI a fast may not hold together. don't let ppl fool you with the heat soak deal. having less heat in th intake isn't worth 400 more bucks. plus nitrous will cure any heat in the intake

so are you guys telling me that a typhoon would be the better route over a F.A.S.T.? There is plenty of guys on here running f.a.s.t intakes and spraying. Is there a spray limit on a f.a.s.t.? 'im sure i would be able to spray atleast a 150 to 200 shot or even more with a typhoon because it's aluminum...can a fast take a 200 shot or more?

Just to let you guys know...this motor will be running a Ms4 that i have already purchased, Stage 3 243's (saving for), Hooker swap headers, bolt-ons etc...BTW it will be going into a G-body el camino!!!

just get the ls6 intake and port your stock t/b. i have tried using a metal intake and they get hot and stay hot. simple as that.
