Default Intake any better for a street turbo motor??

Ok hoping to get my built tranny soon from ace transmissions and am running a stock truck manifold on my built 6.0 and plan to be running the boost 15lbs on the street and 20lbs at the track.
I do daily drive the vehice so don't want the low end to commit suicide, but will have a 3400ish stall.

Now would a 102 fast truck manifold be better or a vic jr or super vic for my setup? or is it just wasted cash and should I stick with the stock manifold?

Seems to be controversial and just want some honest opinions.
Thanks for any input on this matter.

Decide on a power goal and what RPM do you want it at. Then pick the cheapest manifold that will get you to your goal. Truck manifolds or any OEM "LS" manifold has been proven to over 1000hp. Aftermarket manifolds aren't worth the HP per dollar invested it on a street/strip setup IMO.

Money is better spent elsewhere.

The stock truck manifold and throttlebody have been 8.30's in a street car Nova (stock48). How fast do you want to go ?

Impressive. Im hoping for the high 10s and a power goal of 900ish hp . So I think I will stick to the ol truck manifold and clean up the outside since its a proven performer in my power range.
