Suppose to make a little more power than the ls6 manifold, but there are a few threads on this site that claim the opposite. It's hard to beat the cost of a used ls6 manifold and ported tb combo/results. The bbk does look cool though and seems to be favored by some who spray. If you already have an ls6 man, not worth it imho

Don't waste your money imo. The LS6 intake is a good intake for budget minded people.

If you want to upgrade its either FAST or wait for the new Street Warrior intake.

I like mine.

It makes more power then the LS6 even when heat soaked.
The only bad thing is that it weights a crap ton.
I got mine last year because im planning on spraying.
But if i was in the market for an intake right now I would consider that new warrior over the BBK.

I dont know how much mine weighed for sure. But I know it was more than 2pounds over the stocker. Im going to say its around 10pounds or more heavier.
