After the 'fun' I had with the install of my BBK it ain't ever coming off. Seriously, I'd keep it, makes more horsepower than the LS6 mainfold. Don't buy into the heat soak hype.

Depending on which one you have, switching to an ls6 would be a lateral move.
Im pretty sure you can port that bbk for a little gain

Stick with the BBK SSI intake, and if you still have the stock Tb on it get a 85-90mm TB on it.

IMO, if you're maybe wanting a different look then paint it. When I had my BBK SSI intake I painted it gloss black then I went over the top with a palm sander.
