LS6. bbk is prone toh eat soak, and costs way more, sheet metal intakes show hope in high rpms and bigger cubed motors but no your after bolt on and minor ehads/cam cars

Had the Weiland, would not seal and heavy, I have the FAST, much better, or the LS6, stay away from those aluminum intakes for our cars.

Check out TPIS who is producing an LS6 manifold adaption for a 90mm throttle body. Lingenfelter is selling the TPIS conversion. This is much cheaper than a FAST, and will produce a nice power increase with no loss of driveability.

Ls6, don't even consider the BBK. Not saying it is junk but the Ls6 is far better and as stated above the BBK will be a heatsoak problem.

Its awesome a factory intake like the LS6 is hard to beat . I dont see how one would have heatsoak , no coolant flows through the intake only air . I like the composites myself but to each there own .
