BBK vs. LS6 (Intake Manifold)
Im trying to decide which would be better for my car. I searched through some threads but I would still like some recommendations. So vote Damnit!!
Right now my main engine mods are a lid, Pacesetter L/Ts, and the LS1 Hotcam kit. I was about to buy the LS6 but I came across the BBK while looking around.
After searching, it sounds like Im going to need a new throttle body with the BBK? So if anyone has any suggestions post em up!!!

on a 420hp crate LS1, the FAST intake only made 1hp more than the LS6 intake...
so unless you are building a REALLY crazy H/C, stroker or FI, there isn't much to be gained that the LS6 won't accomplish.
just my $.02

Re: BBK vs. LS6 (Intake Manifold)
Well I was gonna say that it might be worth it until I saw the price. ~$900 is what I saw, is this the price you were getting it for? That's w/80mm TB. For that kind of cheddah, no thank you.
There are plenty of people making a lot of power with LS6 manifolds. And they don't cost $900. So unless you're going to be flowing A LOT of air, I would spend your money elsewhere.

I'm using the Stock LS6 intake manifold with a stock unported TB and put down 412rwhp and ran a 12.35 @ 116.5 MISSING 3rd gear. You don't need anything more than the LS6 for those mods.
