DO IT RIGHT THE 1ST TIME.

Don't go with BBK, you will not find any LSX shop that recommended this intake in any kind of build, cause in your future mods you will change it to FAST

What is your budget so we can help you get the right part within your badget

im not a fan of the bbk whatsoever, but the claims of heat soak are wetarded, there has been such a big debate about that but same can be said about big foot lol, if you are serious about big na power think a custom eps cam, afr or tick flow heads, fast intake, chris1313, etc thats just to start, i wouldnt focus on a number i would shoot for a good running car, if you wanna stay more on the budget side of things a ls6 intake is the way to go, unless your getting a bbk for 300 it is overpriced,exhaust wise for sure 1 7/8th headers, and imo i would go with a good dual exhaust setup, sounds better ,flows better etc

The stock fuel rails work fine with the BBK SSI intake. As far as the heat-soak I don't consider it a myth, it's just been overly exaggerated. So don't write off the BBK unless you are bothered about the addition weight (+10 lbs), which is very noticeable when you're installing it.

I agree either stick with a stock ls6 or go fast and I'm my opinion I would go with ls6 for ur goal

Yeah I'm definitely going to go with some Texas Speed Headers & ORY. I think I'm just going to stick it to the Y-pipe.

haha lots of debate over the BBK & FAST , I just can't get myself to justify $1,000 on an intake manifold that will also need a new throttle body as well
I'd definitely buy if I had that laying around. Which is why I kinda wanted BBK cuz I heard it was between LS6 and FAST...

As far as budget goes, I'd like to spend around 1,000 for the intake manifold & Headers/ORY.

cory32690

I don't think you will see any difference on the intakes as far as power what ever one you can get for cheaper will hit ur goals..

I wish mine came stock with an LS6!! too bad its an LS1, which is from what i've heard is something I should upgrade.

I'm not too concerned with weight as far as that BBK intake goes. I wish FAST still sold those smaller intake manifolds... those seem like those would be what I'm looking for.

haha you guys are scarin me away from the BBK XD

cory32690

Don't be scared of the Bbk there just saying for the extra money you would spend on it won't result in much gains..but like I said between ls6 and Bbk I would go ls6 but if u can get one cheaper than the other go that way..if ur gonna want more power in the next year or so then stick with the ls1 intake and save for a fast

I was looking at prices on WS6store.com and it looks like the BBK SI is cheaper then the LS6 by 30 bucks.

MikeWS6

Just get an ls6 intake. The bbks get way too many mixed reviews and the fast intakes are priced by people who want to rip you off.

Karl101

What about getting duals instead of an ORY?

cory32690

Well for $30 I would go for the ls6 if I were spending the money plus save ur money don't by a 85mm throttle body just get ur factory one port and polished Will be cheaper in the end and nothing looks cooler than a fast car that looks stock

Bbk cheaper than a ls6? Noway man, buy a used ls6 which is a lil over 300,do not buy that part used, port/polish your stock tb thats really easy to do,do that yourself as well just follow a write up, are you sure ya wanna stay na?i can tell ya right now if i could start over i would go fi all the way, no question about it, turbos are worth the money, then top of the motor with a ls6 intake/n cam, just think ya dont wanna do things twice and a fi car will blow a na car out of the water when it comes to fun factor

haha i swear i'm not crazy, if you look on WS6store.com NEW the BBKs are cheaper then the LS6, haha I promise
But I plan to purchase another Fbody and I will make that one Forced Induction, so this one will be my N/A

Yeah I see way too many mixed reviews, and the FAST is expensive!!! haha.

I read a little bit into duals and the Y and what I read was the Y wasn't actually that bad. Maybe 5-10hp from duals is what I read...

Yeah I would like to stick with the stock throttle body and just P&P that. So thatll save me some money. But I guess the question is, if you had an LS6 would it not be worth it to move to BBK if you had the opportunity?

I mean buy the ls6 intake used, there around 300,325ish, and you can find them all the time on tech, if you buy new all your going to do is overpay,

I'll definitely keep an eye out for both on LS1tech & ebay.
I did see a couple LS6 manifolds from CTS and a few Vettes.

get whichever intake you can for the cheapest since you need money elsewhere in your build... you won't even notice a diffrence in power between the 2 of them, it might show + or - 5 on the dyno but nothing that will make you go "whoa" that made a big diffrence..

and look into self porting your TB to save a little more cash, theres a couple write ups on how to do it..

focus on what Head and Cam package your going to get because that is where the power will be at on this build... goodluck

el33tprodigy

I am seeing the FAST 102mm LSXr Intake Manifold for like 850 range not the 1000 your finding it for... Thats a bit of a difference that you could put into something else but still get the better intake.. I myself will also be going to a get a whole new engine build done.
Just got back from the dyno today with the cam thats currently in didn't like the numbers so going to shot for over 450 at the wheels.... Just waiting on the shop to send me some build up info and est. so i know what kinda dough i'm looking at ...

A used LS6 is going for about $350 shipped used. You can get a new BBK for about $100 more and it does perform a little better than an LS6. For those that don't like it, they never ran one before and just regurgitating what rumors they heard about it on the forums.

For a FAST 102, by the time you add the cost of the intake, throttle body, LS2 water pump (unless you want to grind down your LS1 pump to make it fit), bigger lid, bigger MAF, couplers to join them all together and fuel rails, you are approaching right around $2000 or more. When someone says you can get a FAST for $800 something, that is great. But you still need everything that goes with it to get it to work properly.
