Best F/I Intake Manifold

I was wondering what Intake manifold would be the best for forced induction.

stock works fine for many to 700+rwhp, and is certainly the cheapest.

I assume the bigger the better right like for example a f.a.s.t 90mm will flow more than a stock.

Fi guys have switched to the Fast over the LS6 and in more cases than one gained nothing... Even N/A I have to seriously question the gain over the LS6 for the $$ spent...

Ls2 is garbage.. Fast is def not worth the money in FI.. perhaps in a head/cam swap.. but the victor jr is the way to go it seems.. proven well over 600hp

The Victor Jr. is rated at 600hp + NA. On a FI set up it should be good to well over 1000hp. Check out some of the heavy hitters on this forum and see what they are running. I think there are a few with a stock LS1 intake that are at or over 700rwhp. Check out 93formto98T/A I believe he is at 725rwhp and still running a LS1 manifold and stock TB.
