haha heat soak once again.....I remember the comp polymers upper intake for the 5liter ford...rite in its advertisement it said"NOT FOR USE WITH NITROUS"but polymer intakes just came out in the late 90's...atleast that is what one will think if they read this stupid thread...**** your weak *** ugly plastic intake.....
Ill put any amount of money on my wieand outflowing any ls6 intake.......these intakes have alot of porting material...

try stock for stock, not your ported paper weight vs. an ls6

I dont know for sure about the heat soke but if you buy the idea that when the blade opens and sucks fresh air into the manifold the air does not spend enough time in the manifold to absorb the heat then you also have to buy the idea that a bag of ice on the intake to cool it would not matter to the air being sucked through it either.
Personally I think the heat soak is an issue albeit very small, making it not really much of an issue.

Obviously there's something to the heat soak theory or hair dryers wouldn't work and would blow cold air. There's obviously some transfer, but it isn't worth worrying about in this application.
Now, let's say the "heated" manifold at 6000 RPM heated the air 10 degrees while passing through it, which is a HUGE stretch, no way it would pick up that much heat exchange in the small amount of time it's spending going through the intake at WOT...
So, following that exaggerated argument, how much affect would even 10 degrees difference make in the combustion chamber ? Remember, this temp difference isn't measured at the IAT so it doesn't affect tuning calculations for timing/fueling/etc.
Also, remember that all TPI f-body and LT1 cars came with aluminum intakes. Didn't seem to matter then so much, and it's not like there's a big aftermarket for composite LT1 intakes...
Is a composite intake better ? Sure. They're lighter weight and don't retain ANY heat. ...but if you want it port matched or you want to boost the crap out of it, or you want to polish it for show, you may be better off with aluminum.
