i think we need to get a sticky going for us new guys about this info so we dont waste money.

something like this. please Mods feel re to modify this and others add to it.

up to 1000 Horse
Ls6 intake
single plane
over 1000
willson
marcella
single plane


and lets talk and put real HANDS ON info for these intakes
Fast 90
Fast 92
New Fast 102
Ls2
Fibertune
Ls3
L76
Edlebrock proflow
Ls7
^^^ in know with the fast they say no. but were is the breakig point so if you only are ever going to run 10psi will it work? info like that

we need this a sticky with info. but Hands on Info. it might be best if shops/sponsor only can answer this stuff. so we dont get all the internet Einsteins.

Mods you do with it what you want.
Thanks

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.

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.

I'm using a completely stock LS6 intake and throttle body pushing about 19-20 psi!

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!

How will this effect performance/reliablity? I planned on using the LS1 intake on a budget build. What are the power differences in the LS1 vs. LS6?

Thanks

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

Was this a dumb question, or does nobody have any real input on this?

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.
