If you're spraying I'd go with the Typhoon. There's going to be your "heat soak" naysayers, but the strenth of aluminum is well worth the peace of mind with nitrous. The Typhoon had some sealing/leaking problems in the early stages of production, but all quirks and problems have since been remedied, just preparing you for the avg. hate posts that people post towards the typhoon.

if all you have is spray and bolt ons, i wouldnt waste the money. stick with the ls6 intake for now. later down the road if you want to do heads and a cam you can pick out an intake based on the power youll be making.

fast makes a plug that goes in the manifold so that if the car does back fire it doesn't hurt the manifold. Like a blow off relief
