Best intake for boosted applicaton?
Looking into boosting an ls engine. Would like to here input as to what intake for efi setup. I am thinking a victor style intake would be best.
An elbow with ls type throttle body.
Thoughts?

I ran 5.50's in the 1/8th with a stock ls6 intake and tb. when you are blowing air into the engine under pressure, intake design makes little difference. as a matter of fact the heat sink factor of the aluminum victor would probably be a negative point on a forced air car. also, the victor would probably make the bottom eng soggy on a street car.

I would agree with the stock LS6 unless you are gonna run a whole bunch of boost...

From what I have read if you are going to a Victor style intake I would use a 4 barrel style TB with a blower hat.

I'm using the new edelbrock proflo intake. So far it's working great with my combo
