Hey Guys I have the BBK SSI Intake and 80MM throttle body on my truck now.

BBK SSI Intake Manifold
Comp cams 216/220 .525/.532 114LSA

I wouldn't think so. Seems like that setup should be making a little more power than that.

Yes as the 90/90 would also leave you more room to grow.

with the amount of cubes you have i would go with a slightly bigger cam and do heads to take advantage of the manifold. otherwise youll have to rev more with the massive 90mm on that small motor.

IF I do upgrade to the 90/90 it will also get 1.85 rockers at the same time.

This is the first time i've heard of someone using a BBK manifold, how does it stack up to other aftermarkets? Similar gains as an LS6 or ported LS6?

It is similar to an LS6. there are a few people out there using them. I have sold 3-4 of them while working at a speedshop. It would be worth it if you can sell the BBK one.

The BBK is a great intake, I chose it in-case of a Nitrous backfire. When I installed it I replaced a stock LS1 manifold and gained 3-MPH at the track.

Thanks to all for the input.

ANyone Else?

TTT, I have been runing a bbk ssi intake. Ive been wondering if i wasted the money or not..

98 camaro With long tubes, BBk intake, K&n Fipk, ORY, and SLP LM I made 310 hp 310 tq. On a Built 4l60e, with a tci 3000. This week it will be tuned and ran at the track.

Every one at the dyno day said for a untuned, unlocked 98... 310 is not bad at all..

Opinions?
