bbk vs ls6 intake
They are pretty equal as far as flow numbers, from what I've read, but the BBK offers better power* on the top end.
The myth about heat soak is just that, a myth. The air moves fast through the intake, through the hot heads, and into the hot chamber. The aluminum intake being a bit warmer than a synthetic one isn't going to make a difference.

IMO, stick with the with your BBK SSI, you'll see no benefit going to the LS6 intake.
I'd get either a BBK 85tb or a Edelbrock 90tb on your BBK if you don't already have one on it to maximize it's potential.

I was thinking going with a bigger tb but my stock 1 is ported and polished
i have a ls6 intake that i picked up complete with fuel rails, injectors, and throttle body for $50 (and yes its a legit ls6. already ran the numbers)
so i have no complaints with mine thus far lol.

?? I can drive mine pop the hood and place my hand on my bbk and its not hot,I have mine painted,black idk if that helps or not
My polished tyhoon will arrive today. Some compairisons depend on your set up. My redline is 6900, ls6, no good. I will be porting my 85mm typhoon, and opening the snout to 90mm. Putting on an Ls7 throttle body. I have no doubt it will kick *** over my ls6 intake with homeported tbody. Plus the polished typhoon looks better than anything out there. Read the dyno results of this typhoon vs ls6 intake.
