Default professional products typhoon intake manifold?

any one run one of these. claim to make more power than LS6 and better low end power/tq then other aftermaket manifolds. they look badass and around 400-450 on ebay to good to be true?

I guess when PP makes a product of their own it turns out like total crap. Its no secret that PP steals just about every Edelbrock design and ships it out from china with sub par machining and parts. You wont see any PP parts on my car.

I was just about to tell that story LOL! Big piece of **** but I guess they look ok. If you want it to look pretty have the LS6 chrome plated IMO. Place in CA. Chromes plastic before any smart asses say it can't be done LOL!

awh i found one on ebay for 400 buy it now and was actualy thinking of buying it. theres a 12 page thread started by the company on here about this intake and they are a sponser on here aparently. and they clame they had a h/c ls1 on an engine dyno and had a compareson w/ an LS6 and there intake made 17.7hp more at peak and it made more power/tq trough out the low end aswell. owell cant believe every thing you here
and it looks so bad ***

I bought a ported 90/90 and pretty happy with it. It makes good power although I don't have dyno numbers yet. I'm guessing 30 hp (on a 408). I did not believe the hype of the FAST manifold at first, but I am a believer now. I guess your only other choice is a victor jr, but there is some cutting you might have to do with this manifold which sucks.
