The BBK is better for Fi or nitrous and like the LS6 there is very little to no room for porting. There is no marginal difference between both manifolds performance either.

Before i forget the pushrods you have to measure (TSP has a great collapsible PR they sell) do not ever take any ones advice on the net when it comes to PTV or push rod length.

there is a reason why practically nobody on here has the BBK SSI intake. its simply not worth it, plus you have heat soak issues to deal with.

If you have stock heads or know the CC they should be able to tell you based on the base circle of the cam as well.

He is refering to PTV. Piston to Valve clearance. Most of the time its not an issue if you dont have some oddball or radical cam you plan on running. However you do have to take your heads off to measure.

With a pushrod length checking tool. Don't run a stock pushrod but a stock length should be fine. You won't know til you get the cam in.

They'll know if it's on a different base circle.
