Any horsepower gains with thyphoon intake
Just wiondering how these perform.They advertise as good as an LS6.I like the looks and if I ever go to supercharger,nitrious or turbo its good to go with aluminum instead of plastic.Also do you have to use their fuel pressure regulator or no regulator at all some people say but I have a higher pressure fuel pump and 36 injectors.Thanks

I had one before I switched to the BBK. I definitely loved the look of the intake and fitment was good. Some people say they are junk because of the earlier fitment issues but all that has been solved i believe. What made me switch was looking at PP dyno of the intake. Because of the runner design the intake did not really kick in till 5000+ rpms. Thats a downside for me because I shift at 6. I believe the intake would perform best on a head and cam 6 speed car. The bbk tested well. Fitment was excellent and uses the factory o-ring style gasket which is a plus. Overall a good intake just make sure it fits your goals.

I ran their rails for about a month.... If their intake is anything like their rails, I wouldn't recommend it to my enemy.
And I did some research on this and found that the PP is only a proven performer on FI builds. Not really much for a run of the mil h/c car. Get a FAST.

I've had no trouble with my setup, it came with the old style gaskets which
were troublesome but PP sent me a set of the new style for free. I have no
dyno / track data since the swap, which is several years back. But it's a
nice big hole and it runs right and nothing leaks. I think I posted some stuff
about the install back in the day but you'd have to wade through a lot of
posts to find it now.

This is why the intake runs $200 more than a brand new LS6. Ever pay attention to the price of a NEW GMPD LS6 intake?? Not just the $300 used price? Starting to get tired of people complaining about the price of quality parts..... You get what you pay for. And there's a reason why you don't read much about people clamoring for the PP intake.

A ported 102 from FAST just doesn't fit into my budget right now. 1100-1400, and I'd still have to buy a throttle body? That's just too much money for me to spend on an intake.

i don't see how a FAST intake is out of reach these days, with the debit of the FAST 102, the FAST 90/92 have become available with TB for pretty cheap. i got my FAST 92/92 setup with 42lb injectors for $650 injectors sold for 250, old LS6 intake sold for 400. in the end, then intake was FREE!!!! so you just have to shop around and get yourself a good deal. never dealt with the other intake, but the FAST intake is a very good piece!

Ive got the 96mm Typhoon intake and let me tell you it's not a bad piece especially for the money.
I had no issues installing the intake, it sealed great. The only thing i dont like about the intake is the weight
difference compared to the ls6 and that the fuel rails are junk.
I've been debating on switching out the intake because im staying h/c and i dont plan on running boost or nitrous.

I don't know why you're so hostile about PP. Please, if you had a bad experience with them, share it with us. From the few reviews I've found, PP seems like a decent company, and their manifold seems to be priced reasonably... If their parts are defective, let us know.

I get the rails and the fittings are very cheap, the mounting tabs are cheaply made and the cross over line was rubber, not teflon. The wire braids weren't taped where they were cut, so they fraying when I got them. They came with cheap Phillips head pan head screws to hold them to the mounting tabs. The fittings and elbows weren't even a -6 or -8, it's an off size. NPT threads are a bitch to seal. I resealed them three times and I ordered the FAST set (all 4 points.) They STILL leaked. I used two types of thread sealant and I could NOT get them to stop leaking..
Don't cheap out when you can risk burning your car to the ground. Those rails bothered me from day one. I was SO paranoid of a fire to the point where I just stopped driving the car until I ordered the CORRECT set. Now I sleep fine. I am confident that the FAST rails will not leak. I also re-did all of my lines and connectors with quality pieces.
