Intake opinions

I just did a cam in my 98 Z28, (236/242) and I'm out of fuel uptop, so I definitly need to do injectors.

Should I leave well enough alone and keep my LS6/Ported throttle body or go to a PP 96MM Typhoon and larger TB?

I don't have the boot for a FAST 90/92 setup right now.

I would stay with the LS6 setup until you got the cash

Hmm. Thats the second person saying keep the LS6. Is the typhoon really that bad of an intake?

From what I understand, the first run of intakes had issues with fitment, but that had since been corrected.

Someone on here had a cammed GTO, and picked up 18 HP I believe from the Typhoon unit... and his car had an LS6 stock.

Yeah, but now the website says delivery is April... which has been pushed back many times.

I already do have a LS6, BTW.
