Sheet metal intake for boost!
Hello
It's a c6Z, lsx427ci and prc285 heads, APS kit with twin 67/66's by DKT.
Currently using my stock ls7 intake and throttle body.
I want to Max out my turbos, I know that the stock intake will be my limit at 20psi+
I need your input/recommendation for a good sheet metal intake that will be an asset for my build. Not just a boost holder 😎
The precission metal craft sheet metal intake price is nice
Was wondering if they are good for my application or if there are better options out there!
Thank you

Talked to Bryan of LME about this hot looking intake. It's nice and the gains are even nicer
But the price is killing 😩

The one PMC intake I saw gained ~50hp at 6k+ but gave up a ton of low end. For a car revving 6-8k it would be nice gains but on a street car it killed the torque and power <5k. I think that will be the case for all of the sheet intakes.

Fast intakes yes. Stock ls7 intakes, nope. Never seen one fail besides n2o backfires.
