I can tell you first hand that the Sniper intake is not made by Holley and is identical to some you can buy on ebay. Holley does quality check them before reboxing them but I dont know if thats worth their markup.
I run an aluminum intake by Speedmaster, identical to the Typhoon by Profesional Products and Chinese as well. I however ported the crap out of it and slapped a 102mm tb on it. I figured an aluminum intake will hold up better to my 25psi.

How is your manifold performing. I have a PP Typhoon that I have had the flanges trued, as well as the TB mounting pad trued . This to avoid what was said to be a common problem with sealing. I am going to use the Fel-Pro raised bead gaskets also. Curious if you had any such issues with yours. Thanks.

I have yet to do final tuning but so far the intake seems to be doing just fine. Based on fuel the car is making around 820hp on 16-17psi of boost at 67% throttle. We should see 25psi or so at wot. Hoping to be on the dyno in the next week or so.

DON'T USE THE FELPRO GASKETS! You will have vacuum leaks. The best gasket for this intake is the Professional Products #52610. It matches the intake and cylinder ports perfectly and has a silicone bead on both sides where the felpro only had it on one side.

The 90 (LS2) and 92 are interchangeable. Same bolt pattern. Same gasket.
