Default Intake to match 80mm BBK?

Looking at replacement intakes. I am interested in finding out what intake is closer to the BBK 80mm opening. The spacer that came with the TB is just ugly, and takes up too much room between intake and lid. I have problems keeping the lid mounted in its correct spot. Can the LS6 intake be port matched to 80mm, or is the FAST my only option?

BBK has an intake to match the TB. It may or may not be on the market yet.

I am actually wondering if the LS6 or the FAST intake will be better. From what I 've read, the BBK may never be released. I haven't even seen a picture of one installed yet.

Tough to tell if the BBK will perform better than the LS6 because no one has it. I don't see a cam in your sig... I don't imagine an LSX would be that great at this point. Go with the LS6, but you won't get around the adaptor for the TB.

TPIS offers an oval setup. That's another option... http://www.tpis.com/CatalogPages/catalog%20home.htm
