Vote TPI. Lol.

But out of the choices I say BBK probably looks the best. I'd probably rather have a fast intake anyways. I think having a FAST intake painted to match the body color would be pretty nice.

Honestly aside from the LS6 being plastic and the second to last being more squarish they all look the same, or at least similar enough to have a hard time picking which one looks "better"

its either a magnacharger or magnasun (sp?) eitherway it comes with k member spacers to drop the engine and transmission down to clear the S/C on the wiper cowl.

its nice, but it creates clearence issues between the bottom of the car and the road as well as a different driveline angle.

again, its nice to have an overhead blower, but there are more practical ways of making power.
