Default Best intake manifold?

I was wondering if there is a differnece between all of the intake manifolds out there.

-weiand
-BBK
-FAST
-SLP
-NSX

im sure there is a couple more

I know alot has to do w/whether or not your spraying, right?
Reason being is I would like to put the best one on my car cuz I still have a LS1 intake on my T/A.

thanks

Weiand=crap
BBK=new, probably suffers from heat soak
SLP/GM LS6=best for budget
NSX=? i dunno about that one
FAST 90mm=best factory style intake out there so far, but expensive. mainly good for cars with more than bolt ons(cam, heads, nitrous etc)

and while your at it, get rid of the Flowmaster crap.

Unless you have piles of money or plan on building a 450+ RWHP car I would just stick with the good ole LS6 intake
