big expensive heat sponge. notice there are a bunch for sale on the boards? stick with the ls6 intake. no one has really shown it to be much better other than big cube guys. even that might be in the air.

that aluminum casing will get way hotter than the plastic style version I have. I beleive the holly is fully portable though, that's a plus.

more people will chime in i am sure,but the problem lies in the heat soaking of aluminum. also there are portable areas but the important areas in the plenum is not accessable. it is not that bad, but not worth the money.

By the time you take advantage of the Holley porting availability, it'll end up costing you that of an RGR custom aluminum intake from Speed Inc. - which is way better, and lighter. It makes no sense to buy a Holley, just get an LS6 and be done with it. <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

isn't the concern with the plastic manifolds that they don't hold up as well with boost (bulging)? Or is that only under very high boost levels? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

I will pick my fully ported and poly dyne coated internally Holley intake up tomorrow which was done by Craig @ GTP and I will take full pictures of this unit which should pick up 10+rwhp over the composite ls6 so be ready boys. The coating acts as a thermal barrier and reduces the heat factor by far.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
