typhoon intake 17.7 more hp than ls6???

[tbias]

hey guys im looking to buy an intake/tb and i came across this info on ebay from high performance heaven california. typhoon 85mm ads 17.7 more hp on the dyno than an ls6. is anyone running one of these? they look bad ass and they are alot cheaper than say a fast intake. heat soak is it really an issue?

[GULLETT17]

ive heard they fit horrible . . . dont know about the hp difference over the ls6

[tbias]

how about the holley or the bbk ?

[Hi-Po]

All aftermarket do not fit like OEM.

I had hell troubles with my FAST. I would pay for the typhoon personally.

cool. i like the look of the typhoon real well but hell i dont know. what size of tb do you think i should run with the trick flow kit ?

Trick Flow head package?

I would rather get it over with the first time and buy a FAST 92/92 or a used 90/90. They are the same intake basically. Hard to find a used 90/90 at a good price in my eyes. 200 bucks more will get you brand new. Its all about how much you want/can spend on a intake and TB.

92/92.

yes the t/f package. the cost for the package with a new oil pump water pump and a timing chain has just about eat me up. i know i need to upgrade my intake and i hate to have to come back later to do it but damn 1200 more!! i guess im looking for something a little cheaper than the fast. what size of tb do a need for this kit ? thanx

Then buy a LS6. You will some on the table, but it wont be astronomical. Put your LS6 on it, and save for the FAST. An intake swap is nothing.


A TB for FAST is going to be 90mm or 92mm. If you do go ahead with the FAST intake, I wouldnt buy the FAST TB. They are over priced for what it is, and the 90's had some problems. I think most of the 92's were fine?

Buy a PTM or Nick williams TB. Cheaper and are nice pieces. I went PTM black powered coated.

I agree with hi-po, If were you I'd use the intake you have now and hold out and save up for the Fast intake and put it on later.....intake swap is pretty quick and easy. + there are several tb's out there to choose from for less money, that will work just as good as the Fast tb.
with that said, I have some friends running BBK aluminum intakes that are quick as hell, and if you take your time and look for awhile you might even get a great deal on good used parts.

what size tb are they running on there bbk? i think thats the route im gonna go.

[tbias]

good luck with the build man. I've got my eye on the 515hp trickflow package and fas 92 intake....just have to save ALOT of money first

[tbias]

i hear ya man it all cost$$ its the little shit that adds up though .

[tbias]

just bought the street warrior from summit. itll be shipped mid nov. now i need to order a tb. any thoughs on a brand?

[mark21742]

also just a thought, when you see gain claims(adds 15 hp) most of the time that is with supporting mods

[Benner]

good choice with the street warrior. I'm having a hard time deciding if I want to keep my car but if I do that's what I'll be goin with.

[tbias]

yea i thought so to hell it wasent much more than the bbk or the typhoon. now i just need some help with what tb to bolt on it?
