Default Intake Time, need suggestions...

LS6, holley, edelbrock, other?

I like big stacks but this isnt a carberated motor so i cant put double 4 barrel demons on it. What other intakes besides the ls6 will give me a power boost and better flow? I dont have the money for a FAST but i would possibly consider a custom sheet metal maybe unless its serious over kill and too expensive.

I saw that post about the Victor jr intake and it looks pretty sweet but might be too much customization that i want to deal with.

Thoughts?

Just get a used ls6. It is still the value/performance leader. Good gains and relatively inexpensive cost.

I agree with you in fact,

In addition, thing is, some of the other manifolds that are out might be a decent buy but none of them have proven to be head and shoulders above the ls6, in terms of tq accross the powerband. That's why it's still the price/performance leader.

FAST is in another league. Performance, and most importantly, price.
