In stock form, I do not believe that there are any advantages in performance. What you will get is the ability to either extrude hone(port) or acid port the intake to a larger size. The LS6 intake is a pretty good intake as it is. For the large cube engines out there, it might lack a LITTLE in the plenum volume.
Good Luck and I am waiting as patiently as everyone else for the results.
Thanks,
Just talked to my "flow" guru. His thought is that the aluminum will act as a heat soak and caus "overatomization" (word?) of the fuel and end up in a lean mixture state, leading to spark retard and power loss. I would be curious to hear John Lingenfelter's comments on this.

How can the aluminum intake cause over-atomization(never heard this one?!?!) when the injector is aimed at the back of valve?!?! 99% of the intakes ever made have been made of aluminum???
I really do not think there is anything there....
I have plans on having this one ported to match my heads when it gets here.Plus,I figured it would be worth it to get it now seeing I have a big cube motor in my future.The main thing is it actually was less then $50 more then the LS6 intake shipped.I will post results and pics of it when I get it installed.It won't be to easy to tell the gains seeing I'm doing heads and cam at the same time,but will post numbers anyway.
