Weiand Vs Ls6
Weiand Vs Ls6 I have the chance to get a Weiand ls6 intake for about the same price as a LS6 intake. Heat soak is not an issue. Which do you think will throw better numbers?
The Weiand was based off the LS6 intake. So it is supposed to flow a little bit better, but I think it is twice as heavy. It looks alot better IMO and not as common as the LS6. Try something different and go with the weiand!!!

There are plenty of threads on this. I went against the plastic intake for a couple reasons. Like being able to port it & no having to worry about it exploding during a nitrous backfire.
You will not get a unbias opinion on this topic. I personally don't mind losing 12hp now for future gains & strength.

Yea, if you got a couple grand to **** off. Those are really better on bigger cube applications though, which you would know if you did some research.
And if your askin why you would need to port the intake, you have lots of reading & learning to do. Anytime you port the intake to match aftermarket heads or increase the flow even more, your gonna make more power.

I came across an article that compared Horsepower, torque and flow number for about 10 different intakes for LS1's. The aluminum weiand/lingenfelter intake was in last place because it doesnt flow worth a crap. I think it made like 2hp more or less than a stock ls1 intake. The composite LS6 is one of the best for its price. Only buy the weiand if you are into the look, dont care about power, your going to port it, or your going to spray a 200+ shot and want the strength of aluminum.

Beats $600 for a new LS6.
