Default intake

im looking into buying the bbk intake manifold and 80mm throttle body package they have. now how much of a difference would that make at the wheels over the stock ls6 setup. mods ive got is a 383 heads mild cam 228 .585 lift headers 36lbs injectors and the other basics. thanks for the help guys

Why do you want the Metal Intake..do you plan on Spraying?

The LS6 one is pretty damn good as it is..

But yeah OP don't waste your money on a BBK, an LS6 is a better choice with your mods.

I'm all for being unique, but in this case there is a good reason why everyone has them. There is also a good reason why nobody puts a 90mm TB on an LS6. Though I do agree the FAST intakes are stupidly expensive.

Stick with the LS6, weighs a lot less, and you won't see any more power on a stock motor.

You already got a few but expect the "get a fast or nothing" posts coming. Ive heard good things about the BBK and it looks a lot better then the LS6...so far im very happy w/ my typhoon, saw some definite gains in the butt-o-meter....dyno #'s to come.
