Smile Best Intake for Forced Induction? (Supercharger)

Just like the title says, I want to know what the best intake would be for supecharging, not planning on changing the TB. I was thinking an LS6? But then I also saw the Weiand and how it was 'designed' to handle the internal pressures and heat generated by supercharging. Thanks.

Ls6 intake for the stock TB. Fast 90 would be the next step up when you want to changet the TB and spend more $$$. The best of the best would be a single plane or a sheet metal intake.

the only thing with the weiand and holley's is they will hold more heat than a composite intake (like the fast or LS6)

I'd like to dyno the LS6/stock TB with the turbo setup, and then switch over the the single plane. I also have a sheetmetal intake I'd like to dyno too.

That thing is like a diamond in there. Looks good. I don't think I could ever drive it tho, cuz then I would have to clean it.

What single planes are available for use on the LS motors now? Haven't really looked into it.

No reason to port a TB on a LS6 combo. The air is going through no matter what, you'll maybe see 2hp gain if any. It could also add tuning issues.

LS6/stock TB here...
