since i have a 99 trans am it did not come with the ls6 intake. i am looking to upgrade my intake and was wondering what intake is better the ls6 or 85mm typhoon. what would make more power? also would a stock throttle body that has been ported work good with a 85mm typhoon?

IMO either do a FAST 90/90 combo setup, or get the LS6 intake with your ported one. You will def notice the difference when you bolt up the LS6 intake

they work very well,
only thing is that they do not have captive port gaskets like oem

LS6... I hear typhoons are junk. Not saying they are, that's just what I hear.

I say typhoon. They had a brief history of having sealing/leaking issues but they've since been remedied by Prof Products. There is the considerstion of heat soak, but hasn't been proved/dis-proved. None of the newer model owners have had any complaints, that I've seen at least.

I've been curious too

They look pretty nice, and if they have any gains over a ls6 it might be worth it, I've seen them decently cheap every so often

I don't think I would buy anything from a place called blueovalindustries...just playing. Anyway when it came timre to swap out my LS1 intake I went with a proven LS6.

Price sure is eye catching

I have both in my garage and am also wondering the same thing. From what I have seen advertised, the typhoon makes ~17 more HP than the ls6. The typhoon is a heavy biotch in comparison though.

The only thing I notice from aluminum intakes like that is they get HOT and they take forever to cool off. My buddies SS has one and it will still be hot like 4 hours after the car gets shut off. I can't really say as far as power differences though.

I have one as well. ready for install but, the lucas injectors I bought dont seal well. when I put them in they just fall in. did you have this issue? my typhoon is about 4 to 5 yrs old.

p.s. not trying to hijack this thread but not much about this intake on this forum. plus thought u might be interested on this matter as well......

^you need to use LS2 injector o-rings.

Buy the typhoon intake and get it ported. I thought mine was junk at first, but I took it to a different tuner to have it checked out and the intake was fine It was just all in the tune. (however I do have a FAST 92 TB)
the intake looks great, runs great and must cheaper then FAST.

Now if I had the $800 in my pocket I would have picked up the FAST, but for the money it's hard to beat a ported Typhoon for the money Ported.

and don't worry about the heat soak issue, it's not that big of a deal.
99% of the people who will cry about heat soak and how it will heat soak really bad don't own the intake. I think just about everyone who owns the Typhoon has no issue with heat soak

Just my 2 cents

At first my stock O-rings didn't seal well at all in my typhoon, but after I went to THE ZONE! AUTO ZONE! LoL and picked up some new rings I had no issues at all (outside the tune)

the intake really looks good with some good valve covers, still saving up money for that nothing wrong with a little flash under the hood
