Is there anyone who is using this 90mm typhoon intake.. is it worth the money or is it just complete junk?

Heard the early ones didn't fit well but they later cleaned up their act. LS6 for me until I look at the new Weind coming out in March. Supposed to match or beat a fast 90/90 combo for less $$.

My friend had a typhoon, I don't want to make this like a bashing post but.... He lost hp after switching from a ls6 to typhoon. The car also didn't run right after switching and had heat soak problems due to it being aluminum. I would go ls6 intake or fast instead. The tb on that thing was also really expensive. For the money i'd get a fast any day of the week.

i have the ls6 intake now and i was looking at a Fast 90/90 or the Victor Jr.with a 90mm TB on it and im leaning on the Victor junior cause it not only out flows the fast but looks much cool too

That sounds like a different problem than the intake itself.

Asmodeus

Actually it beats the fast under 6000 rpm, pretty even through 6400, and above that the FAST still wins out. And it will be a couple hundred cheaper, but not like half price or anything. It's geared more to be a street manifold.

Asmodeus

They don't make a 90mm typhoon.

They make an 85 and a 96. An 85mm with a 85mm TB, 85mm LS6 MAF, and 85mm Fast toys lid would be a nice intake track. I'd recommend porting the intake.

Asmodeus

So every car pre-ls1 had heat soak problems. And the Prof. products TB is about 180, what does a nick williams 90mm tb go for?

I have the 96/90 combo. It appears that PP finally got all of their earlier problems ironed out. I haven't had any problems with mine at all. As far as heat soak, I would hate to think that, at anything more than idle, the air flowed through my intake so slow that it would have time to heat up more than degree.

Maybe your right, the car was fine before then intake and then after it ran like **** so its pretty puzzling to me. Anyway I guess he got ripped off this was about a year ago maybe the price went down but I remeber him paying 300 for a tb for that thing, maybe because it just had came out it was so expensive. All in all his total for the pp combo was 800 where he could've had a fast for a couple of hundred more.

Asmodeus

Yeah that's pretty high. And I bet if you looked at the fuel trims, you'd have found it had a vacuum leak.

imo the plastic intake is better bc it can disipate the heat. the cooler the intake is the cooler the air flowing thru it will be with means more hp. thats how i look at it. it may not be alot but small stuff adds up

Actually it has nothing to do with disipating the heat, plastic is a VERY poor conductor so it does not get hot in the first place. Sorry, dont seem to be nitpicking but I just had a argument with my buddy the other day on this topic.
