They are pretty equal as far as flow numbers, from what I've read, but the BBK offers better power* on the top end.
The myth about heat soak is just that, a myth. The air moves fast through the intake, through the hot heads, and into the hot chamber. The aluminum intake being a bit warmer than a synthetic one isn't going to make a difference.

I would definitely just stick with the BBK, I've read it has more porting potential, gives better out of the box gains and to me it looks a little better sitting in the engine bay than an LS6

My polished tyhoon will arrive today. Some compairisons depend on your set up. My redline is 6900, ls6, no good. I will be porting my 85mm typhoon, and opening the snout to 90mm. Putting on an Ls7 throttle body. I have no doubt it will kick *** over my ls6 intake with homeported tbody. Plus the polished typhoon looks better than anything out there. Read the dyno results of this typhoon vs ls6 intake.
