LS6 intake...Where to find one? been digging into older post and how everyone said go with LS6 intake. All dated back 2013 or earlier. Turbo LQ4 and I have TB, TAC and ECM with the motor. Also have the truck intake, which won't clear the hood (and/or not looking good enough). Goal is to be able to run existing DBW truck TB with a lower profile car intake which doesn't kill usable RPM range performance, like idle-6500. And later on upgrade TB to something bigger if I can figure how to do it or even if worth it (considering is a turbo). All those older post pointing to LS6 intake (besides FAST). I can't find a decent LS6 intake for good price. Found few on e bay asking $500-700 for a USED one. Can't make myself comfortable to pay that much for a used plastic intake. What are the other options? Will se maybe 17 psi max. Thanx.

Dorman LS6 Is also an option but nobody has it in stock and is about $500. Weiand (Holley) 300-111 is cast aluminium and appears to be a decent piece about $650. Can't find any post someone actually ran them. Any experience with them?

Whats your HP goal? Seems like you could go Victor Jr with a elbow and just leave a lot of issues behind?
Just a off the cuff thought... but either way update with what mix you decide to go with..

I don't see where the Weiand would be a bad choice at all and at half the cost of a FAST and a little more than a used plastic manifold it almost seems like a no brainer. Perhaps the plastic ones do a better job of dissipating heat and that's why they're sought after.
