I've used a Holley aluminum intake and it gets very hot to the touch. Idk if it really loses power. But it's definitely hotter to the touch than a plastic intake. And heavier. But works well. Most rwhp my car with ls6 intake made was 493rw n/a

Sounds good. I will go ahead and order one of those this week and get that on the car before I do the converter.

Thanks

It helped me put down 463\399 with heads\cam combo. Let me know.
