Thinking about a street warrior LS intake mani Well, my car is an 01 so it has the ls6 intake manifold, but I am considering replacing it with the street warrior. I have been doing alot of reading up on it but I am still left with just a couple questions. I am wondering since it is a 90mm intake mani if I can bolt a 92mm tb up to it or if I should just buy a 90mm and get it ported, or if I should just use the stock tb that is alread p/p'd.
I am also wondering how difficult it is to change the manifolds out and whether I should do it myself with a friend or 2 over a day or 2 or, just find a shop to do it for me.
Does anybody know anything about this manifold that would cause you to not want to buy one or swap it out for my ls6 intake mani?
I have done a bunch of searching on this site as well as others and have read some dyno comparisons, but most were on like ls3/l92 and ls2s.
Any info would be helpful guys thanks.

Im waiting for the OP to say.......NOT! LOL dude please tell me your joking. I hope so. If your not then be prepared to get bashed hard. The street warrior has been discussed on here for the past year about what a joke it is. Best of luck. Port your LS6 and call it a day, unless you want to put the cash up for a FAST intake TB combo.

That's kinda what I was afraid of. I had read some things, but I just wasn't sure yet. I guess I will just say forget the intake mani. I have considered a FAST, but for my purposes, it is really pointless. I just wanna go with a decent size cam and some better flowing heads, it's all street car, my DD, prolly will never see a track, so the FAST is 2 much money IMO.

Yea dude just stick with what you've got for now. Put the money toward a nice cam and a set of PRC 5.3 heads and you will be golden. Maybe some day the street warrior will be out but it keeps being pushed back on a release date and is being over hyped for now. Jegs and summit offer it for sale yet they don't have it in stock yet. I know it doesnt make any sense for the hype but for what your goals are the LS6 intake will work just fine.

For a car that is mostly street driven, especially as a DD... $1,000 is a lot of money to gain 10-15rwhp from 4,500+. His point (and I agree) was that the LS6 is more than sufficient for a mostly stock - mild heads/cam car.

Guys, I hate to be the bringer of "bad" news, or just news in general..... I'm not looking to get flamed here!
I actually called Summitt this evening and talked to a salesman about the weiand street warrior. He said he had a shipment coming in the day after tomorrow. I thought that was a bit odd, as we've talked and talked about this "vapor product" for quite some time now, and I even told him that.
He assured me, and the reassured me that they have already gotten one shipment in, sold out, and the second shipment was due in the day after tommorrow, which would be wednesday morning. He offered to let me order one without paying, and he would just call me and have me pay right before they ship it.
AGAIN, I asked him, "Are you sure we're talking about the same intake manifold? This IS the Weiand Street Warrior, right?" Again, he said yes, they sold out the first batch, and the second was due in the day after tomorrow.
Feel free to make me crispy, as I can handle it w/o getting bent out of shape, but I just thought I would share the info......

Intersting, Holley doesnt even show it on there websight anymore, I would try Jegs and see what they say and if they have even gotten any, that is of coarse if you are talking about the same part everyone else is talking about. Jegs part number is 925-5000 and I believe Summits's is wnd-5000, unfortunately I am unable to connect right now to verify.

You're right with the Summitt part number. I didn't try to call Jegs though, as they had a later shipping date posted.
I had to flat out literally bite my tongue though and massage my "diplomatic skills" to not call this guy a flat out liar, but he double and triple checked and confirmed that they had a shipment come in, sold out, and had another shipment coming in on Wednesday.
That being said though, I figured SOMEONE from here would have had one and posted about it, but I guess not. I'd LOVE to get one, just to see what the difference is and actually post a REAL UNBIASED review of it.
Again, all I'm trying to report here is what I was told. It may or may not be gospel, but maybe hope is still alive after all.
(I'm suprised I haven't been kicked in the nuts yet for even fanning the Street Warrior flames.....)
