The heat soak argument is not BS. Think about it buddy. Its a metal intake, it gets hot, period. Even if the car is moving. Would you argue that our heads get heat soak? No you wouldnt, and guess what, those are aluminum intakes, same stuff the heads are made from. Granted its role in an engine is not the same, so it wouldnt reach the same temps as the heads, but it will get hotter than a stock plastic LS6 or a FAST intake.

Im pretty sure you can get a LS6 for cheaper than any of the others with the same gains. Unless your going to be pushing more than 450 horses i would stick with a LS6 and port your stock TB. If your going larger that 450 then get a better intake and TB
