Default LS6 INTAKE vs BBK LS INTAKE

i have a 2001 z28 and it has the ls6 intake and i was wondering if this would flow good enough with a head/ cam swap versus buying the bbk intake. any input would be helpful thanks guys.

It flows better..
Most guys veer from the bbk due to alleged "heat soak" issues as well as it not yielding the gains of a LS6 intake. Only reason people go with it is for some engine bling (why not just paint the LS6 intake), or because they believe that it'll hold up better with the spray (lets face it, a backfire is going to mess whatever you have up).
