Default pro & cons for intake manifold

Hey guys, I have the "99" C-5 and I've done some mods. Intake, hedders hy-flo cats, x-pipe and bullits. I guess what I need to know is, I remember seeing a lot of after market intake manifolds like 'weiand' and fast, but now I've seen guys just upgrade to the new LS6. I doubt if I will go new heads maybe have my stock heads reworked and maybe a not too hairy cam. So what type of intake manifold should I look at?? thanks!

Most do well with the LS6 intake manifold upgrade. You'll pick up ~10 rwhp with it, maybe more. Unless you are going with a larger-than-stock displacement motor, I personally don't think the LSX is worth the extra cost (about twice what the LS6 will cost you).

I think he is refering to the Fast setup. I don't think its really worth it unless you are going all out heads cam max effort or biger cubes.
