Default BBK Intake Manifold

I saw this manifold in the new Jegs and was wondering if anyone here has tried it???

bbkintake


If you have tried it what kind of results did you see???
Wondering if this would be a better setup than the LS6 w/ ported tb.
What do you guys think???
For $770.00 it sounds pretty good claiming to get 18-24 at the wheels.

first off, search is your friend

second, the ls6 intake is plenty. the metal intakes will heatoak, and are way more than the ls6.

Actually I did do a search and all I got was the arguement of heat soak... What I'm wondering is how much power does it make??? Eventually I'm going to put nitrous on my car too. But for an intake and tb combo of $770 it sounds pretty tempting, seeing you can get a 90mm FAST intake alone for that. I'm just curious as to what this combo can put down over the ls6 and ported tb, so if anyone has done this swap can you please post some #'s.
