Default Weiand LS1 cast aluminum intake performance

I've seen the Weiand Aluminum LS1/LS6 intake available at several vendor sites. Does anyone have flow #s comparison of the Weiand and a stock LS6 manifold? Any performance gains with the Weiand over the LS6 intake on a NA engine ? ( Polished with a set of Katech valve covers :eek: :eek: :D ) :cheers:

I did not choose it because of the heat soak of aluminum. My LS6 intake is always very cool, and glass smooth inside.

Doesn't anyone else have any info about the Weiand intake? Is it that unpopular? Anyone with dyno or even SOTP results out there?

Ls1tech has some threads on it. Basically no on saw any big increases on the dyno. But at the track, they went quicker. So take from that what you will.
