Anyone ever use this Typhoon intake manifold made from Blue Oval Industries? I need some feedback please.Heres a link for reference.... heres the url....http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-02...1%7C240%3A1318

 

its actually not supposed to be too bad. just heavy and has some heatsoak issues, however small they may be

 

what do you mean heatsoak issues?? For The price it looks like a deal

 

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

 

gotcha, thats what I thought heat soaking meant. Fast intakes are so expensive damn it!

 

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.

 

its still better then an ls1 intake though, right?

 

Yes, better than ls1. and better than ls6 from what ive seen

 

ill be putting a ported Typhoon 96mm on my 408. ill let you know how it is.

 

sweet, let me know, dyno numbers needed
