Default TYPHOON LS1 intake versus other aftermarket manifolds

Has anyone installed or tested one of these Typhoon manifolds. I have read that there is a 17 hp bump over stock ls6 manifold but I was wondering how it stacks up against other aftermarket manifolds like the FAST. Anyone have any info on this I would appreciate it.

Heat soak with no issue, and no seal problems here. Pro Products sent me the proper gaskets when i needed them, no cost, and heat soak honestly is no issue

Ive put alot of differnt setups on. The BBK deffenatly is a nicer part over the PP. Its a proven gain, not getto, and better resale. Its not a popular intake but, it should be what what it is.

Guess I should have scrolled down and found the 10 page thread on this manifold before I opened my mouth.
