The marcella sheetmetal will give you the best cylinder distribution of all the intakes listed above. We've tested them and they usually net a 2.5% spread from top to bottom.
i know that is the **** intake. but Phil, i was trying to get a basis for everyone. like if i was building a low boost 406 and wanting say 750 max horse. i wouldned need to spend 3k on a intake.
ive pushed 20psi thru a Ls2 with a pt88 had no issues that i could tell with the intake. I dailyed 16psi thru that intake for close to 7k. The intake is being used now for my turbo camaro project
at 16psi i dynod 702 with a rich 10.4 afr on a 4.8 and rev'd 7500 for shift points. combo showed no sign of dropping off

Fibertuned is no good for boost, or anything that wants to make power below 6500. We did some pretty extensive testing on it. If you search Fibertuned with threads started by me you will find a large write up on it.
I am putting 20 psi to my FAST90 without issue but I did epoxy all the layers together.

Ls1 and Ls2 intakes are not one-piece units and fit together poorly on the inside which causes cylinder to cylinder bleeding under boost. The LS6 is the way to go if you are intending on using a factory intake on a cathedral port.

I'm running the Edelbrock Pro Flo and I love it! I was thinking about getting a Victor but I was told that I would lose a lot of low end power which would not be cool since it's my daily driver.
The Pro Flo looks sick under the hood too!

actually the truck intake outflows the ls6 one. Truck guys have proved this time after time. The ls6 gains trucks no positive results. the long runners of the truck intake helps the motors, however it doesnt fit under the hood very well of a fbody unless you do some modifying
I've heard this before also, for now I'm running a stock ls1 intake on my rx7, we're also using a stock intake on maxxmitchell's car that went 9.9 at 3700lbs on a stock 6.0 w/ a cam. I'm wondering if I could gain much going to an ls6 intake, but never have been able to find anywhere that people did a direct comparison.
I don't think many have done both. I've got a Super Vic on my new engine. I'll be able to tell you how it likes a NA 370 with 9.3:1 at the end of the week. I'm not putting my turbo on until the end of October, so I will be NA for a while. It will be pretty neat to be able to compare my NA numbers to my boosted numbers and see how much I pick up per pound of boost. Going to be using a TV75 hybrid with an 80mm Garrett compressor in a rearmount application.
I am under the impression that the Super Vic has a slightly longer runner which should LOWER the powerband a little.
Whatever it's good for on the motor NA, it will be about double at 15 psi. As far as the intake seperating inside, I would think that it would be a smaller and smaller penalty as you get into higher RPM.
