since its metal it heats up making the air your bringing into the motor hot. I would go with an ls6 over the typhoon.

As long as your not bracket racing, who cares about heat soak.

Go to a drag race and look under the hood of every car you can and guess what you'll find....yep, aluminum intakes. Even fuel injection intakes are aluminum, as well as the ALL OUT engines of NHRA/IHRA Pro Stock.

Just throwing that out there.

Do a seach on this site, ive seen a couple dyno's from people using that intake and liking it a lot.

Occassional track time for me, and honestly I dont see you losing that much power from heat soaking. and it is a difference of about 400 hundred between the two intakes. hmmm........ . Im trying to price out stuff for a possible ls1 swap in my third gen.

I read one thread where someone didn't gain anything on the dyno with one of those over an LS6 intake.
