Re: Sheet Metal Intakes - Who makes'em? I was thinking about getting a sheetmetal intake for my 422, but the general concensus is that the LS6 intake is better at the track, although the sheetmatal intake may look better on a dyno.
I will be doing a LS6 intake and using the extra $$$ on other mods.

Re: Sheet Metal Intakes - Who makes'em? Allan Futral's first version of his intake picked up 20 rwhp and 2+ mph over the LS6 on his heads cam car (475 rwhp 346).

Re: Sheet Metal Intakes - Who makes'em? We are working on some differant styles that are going to work for differant applications. But I think the best for a heads and cam car sofar is the LS6 intake. Unless you are running a big cubic inch motor I dod`t think a sheet metal will gain anything as of yet. We will test on smaller motors also. We will keep you posted.
