Which Ls6 intake manifold?

Which ls6 intake manifold should I get? does it matter or should I just go with the best price? or go with something like the BBK ls6 manifold?

LS6 manifolds are stock manifolds for LS6 Corvette (01>04) or 01/02 F-Body manifolds.

BBK not what you want.

Aftermarket is FAST 90/90 and that will get you back over 1000+ $$

best bang for the buck is just a regular gm ls6 intake. you can find them for about 350 bucks around here. Best imo is the FAST intake.

I bought my LS6 intake for 300+ shipping on here. FAST is to damn expensive, if you are going with bigger cubes just go with a Victor Jr

I believe the LS6 is 78mm, if you want a LS6 for a stroker some of the sponsors on here port them,I had one ported at CARTEK before they ported my FAST 90. Look around you can pick up a used LS6 for around $300-$325 on here.

Post on the Parts Wanted section. Most likely someone here will have one floating around in a garage somewhere.

I believe you will have to get a fabricated intake elbow as they are made for a carburated setup. A sponsor on here makes them I forget their names though. You will want to go larger than stock for a 408 especially if you are going with the victor jr. 90mm or larger depending on the setup you will be running. Another thing to consider, will this fit under the stock hood if you have one, and if not are you willing to modify it to make it fit or even buy a new one for increased clearance?

you have a 408... you should shoot yourself if you got with anything other than a 90/90

if you cant afford it, wait, save up, then own the road

Man that would look tuff! And by the looks of it the dreaded heat soak everybody talks about would be kept to a minimum since it's got a big air gap under and in between each runner. At only $399 it would be a good option. How does your map sensor hook up though?
