Im in Aus customer of mine we fitted this manifold yesterday on his L98 6ltr 6l80E on his ve ssv commodore wagon with one of my custom baby cams and it made a extra 17rwhp and 25rwnm torque i was pleasantly surprised..One thing it was a pain to fit 😂...Had to extend (patch loom extension) map sensor, modify valley plate etc but apart from that good result but it is basically winter over here so intake temps (heat soak) were fine but i do think in summer over here (35*c-42*c) will be a different and will suffer over the stock plastic intake
intake runner extensions..... moire torque at lower rpm should be the point. a good flow aid under natural aspiration but as you know...not needed for boosted applications. they seem to have covered design for the best of both worlds. nice job finding these folks andy. i have a question: does the company give specs for total internal chamber volume(would save us podantic old grey beard sorts sorts from having to cc the chamber to find this out:-)? it would help when figuring volumetric transfer/chamber depletion rates?-again,a consideration for naturally aspirated applications...not particularly a concern for boosted applications. seems that things are progressing nicely. thanks for the vids to be able to follow the build. =dok=
Thanks for the video. Messaged them about the setup I'm looking for and details on the rail size. We'll see how it works on a twin turbo 5.3 LM7 swapped into a '73 RS Camaro.
I purchased one of these last week and there is no way to contact the company for shipping information. Phone is for of messages and can't leave a message.
BLSdesigns there is a Intake Dyno test done by a big name magazine recently. Best Intake is the Mamo Ported MSD. There is some serious engineering involved with these intakes. I was reading some smart dudes talk about reverb and echo. Blah blah blah something about three reverbs vs four. I really don’t know but it seemed like they did. Seems a few smart folks are trying to bring a highly engineered intake that will be the best. However we all know what worked on paper or SIM doesn’t always work real world.
Those little Trumpets are what separates a crap intake from a good one. Without them, you lose a lot of flow at high speeds due to turbulence in the runner. The cheap China intakes don't have them.
For a cheap alternative for a FAST 102, looks awesome! Only thing i would be worried about is the intake being metal MIGHT cause high IAT'S on a hot day or after multiple passes.
Hey Andy, been looking at one of these style Intakes for a bit now. I was wondering if these are worth doing for N/A applications or are they only beneficial for boost applications? Let me know your opinion please!
Hey bro I literally ordered this manifold off your video and link right after watching. What did u do the a throttle cable bracket??? I'm confused on this
@@TPhresh93 if you get the low profile version its advertised as fitting under the hood of an fbody. Still need to install mone sonic can say 100% yes or no in was told it will work tho
@@TPhresh93 depending on your application. I'm going with it because they look sexy af Haha. I'm not planning on running this at a track. So I'm not too sprung up on hp
Wow the items that can be learned in only 13 mins. All you you tubers must be smokin the Ricky Williams Vape. Why not a head gear or some other alternative so we can quit hearing all this one handed whine! Andy, it will be warm very soon I have that info from a very good source. You need to make us all a promise - soon as its warm your going to clean and organize that shop please. Clutter not good for image, productivity, and employee moral to want to help keep it that way!! No typical, time, $$$ and no help excuses. You buy the gas and a motel room I come from Indy and help for long as needed!! FREE But it must be warm - hate the cold. Doors wide open like legs and DOUCHE that place!! Love your videos and I feel your pain, I did what your doing 40 years.
Do not knowingly buy Chinese knock offs. This destroys the R&D of better parts. Why would anyone engineer a better anything if the Chinese will copy it and sell cheaper. It’s not good for the industry at all. I refuse to do this. As the Chinese are knocking off everything from R/C cars to Vaping to race car parts. They have no R&D. They simply reverse engineer and this done by laser scanning. Then they produce it. With no effort in design, cheap labor rates, no regulations on the factory, etc etc etc. They can under cut the original by half or more. Heavy tariffs will put a stop to this BS.
When folks are lamenting their jobs being made redundant and companies closing down, I point out all the cheap Chinese knock off fake imitation shit they have and explain that's where their job and the business's have gone, as people rather instant gratification of new and shiny right now, rather than live like generations before us, you know, the ones that were resourceful and managed with what they had, because they damned well had to and proud of their inventive resourcefulness...
I had that same intake, and promptly sold it off. It performed WORSE than a factory ls1 intake until around 6000 rpm. It's really pretty, but that's about it. Maybe it would have performed better with forced induction...never found out.
I just bought a,similar intake with a 102 throttle body..it was called a low profile version.its 2 inches taller then a stock ls intake. So I was worried about my hood closing. For my 2nd gen camaro with a lm7 ls swap. Stage 3 cam. The hood was able to shut.but I'm sure I'm right on the throttle body.seems to be the highest point. Waiting for my mechanic to install it with his choice of injectors. Then a tune before I will be able to test it. Can't wait..the intake I bought has a glossy black powder coat.. Looks tough.
The problem with this manifold is heat soak. Expansion and contraction will cause cracks, this is why brand name companies cast composit manifolds. It really doesn't have enough material to port-match. This looks cool, but doesn't belong as a DD.
And I’m buying one of those 102mm intake and throttle body, will it fit in a c5 bc you know how there’s hardly space in the back of the intake the top wall
I have a 07 yukon Denali L92 I want more power ! I want to get it to 500 flywheel- I’ll be getting a stage 1 cam as this is my family wagon - where can I get this intake ? Will I benefit from this intake
Those two guys run away most of your potential subscribers and viewers because of the shaky camera most folks don't have time for that stuff you guys can pick up a little cheap tripod for $15 or $20 bucks and solve that problem But most folks just would not take a few minutes and order one ..!! this is one of the main reasons why viewership and subscribers are low (( you guys give good information..!! ))
Mike's videos lately have been him doing merch plugs, talking about his latest gripe, going to look at wraps, a few short clips of actually driving or doing something entertaining, then mail time and plugging upcoming events. Rinse and repeat. Out of his 10 plus minute video maybe 2 are content I care to see.
I always comment before watching the video and after commenting and reading all the other comments I have to rewatch the video because I missed it the first time...
I need someone to send shit to help me with my build I stuck about 12k in to the car this winter and the wifey is pissed cause it's not done and I need another 3200 now
I know this video is old by now, but my buddy bought one of those for his 6.0 twin turbo build. I ported his 317 heads, then when I got his manifold, I noticed the flanges needed porting as well to match the runners. I ended up blending the flange to the runner from the plenum. I noticed the aluminum they used is super soft. It wanted to clog my burr, and my cartridge rolls. It seemed like a quality product otherwise. It's like any other manifold; you want to port it before you bolt it on.
I wonder how much power it makes.......I’m also looking at this one for my trans am.....I don’t got the money for the cam tho yet I wonder if you can use it anyways before cam
Wonder how the taller version (longer runner) would work on a N/A heads cam 5.3 truck, I know the nnbs intake manifold with 87-92mm throttle bodies are hard to beat from idle to 4-5K rpm though. A lot of aftermarket intake manifolds will give another 15-20hp but have to trade off some down low, which is a no go for daily driver. But that price for everything is amazing lol
Serious question and please excuse my ignorance but I noticed the square ports. Can that still mount to an LQ4 with the cathedral port openings? I personally don't see a problem.
Old video but still relevant. I got one of these and had to add a small thin square tube to add mass across the top. It was resonating pretty bad and was amplifying every little sound of the intake. The metal was to thin and vibrating like a speaker. It is well built but they went to cheap on the thickness and should have welded cross members internally.
I bought one of these off ebay for my LS swapped foxbody and the ad said it's for LS3 rectangular port heads. The one I got is cathedral and when I emailed the seller they said it's a 'hybrid' and it can fit on both applications. That's definitely not the case as it caused so bad of a vacuum leak that it caused my car to start at 4000rpm on my first fire... Almost destroyed my engine. Be careful when buying these. I just bought one from Summit with the correct rectangular heads so hopefully it's a little better.
That looks exactly like a Holley Sniper. I visited the guys site - I don't see a way to contact him. How did you contact him? I want to see if he has any plans to offer a Gen3 hemi intake.
Did you happen to have A issue getting the damn map sensor to go into the back of the intake it’s like the oring is to big it just keeps cutting the oring
hey ,i got the same set up. what or how did you mount the map sensor on the back of the intake? theres only 1 bolt hole ???? how did you mount the thing
Great video man can't wait until the car is done & kicking ass & taking names keep on keeping on man
1 thing for certain, he's not gonna lie...

Your welcome that box is full of sunshine kick ass bro you need to come out to Tampa some time to have a little vacation fun !
How was the quality? Did it last long? Any problems after installing?
Im a little late but this is the best video for exactly what i was look for
There are very few products not Chinese even name brand expensive turbos intakes etc I would do a boost leak check just to see
Hey man I have question after u put it on the car was it worth it and hp gain
Looks like a Holley Sniper manifold that they stuck their name on lol.....
BossKing indeed a Chinese knock off. Anyone selling these is a cancer to American Aftermarket and I hope they go belly up.
the fitech one is identical too.
Great product and a great video !!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!

Any updates man?
@@TrumpsEarBandage they never responded
This video was made awhile ago, not sure this company is even selling these intakes anymore. As for mine, it still works great!
I don't know I would go with made in America!!!!
They are all made in the same place just stamped to each respected company logo same with most rocker arms as well
How about a link to purchase??
Reversed baseball cap- how cool is that?
Lol excedra excedra excedra, not even gonna ask why cause its Andy and thats gud enuff for me luv the vid man keep them coming.
I was looking at the holley version but this is about the same price, but adds a throttle body, so i may go this route
What happened to the CBR, did that dude eat it?
VMAX1700 its getting wrapped
I purchased one of these last week and there is no way to contact the company for shipping information. Phone is for of messages and can't leave a message.

Nice What kind of injector u can use ?
Trumpets? They are velocity stacks

Do you have a video of these intake on a running motor ? I wanted to get one for my ls
Hey Andy, been looking at one of these style Intakes for a bit now. I was wondering if these are worth doing for N/A applications or are they only beneficial for boost applications? Let me know your opinion please!
I think these intakes are more based for boost applications unless you plan in revving and engine past 7500rpm all day N/A
DiabloFormulaRacing Thanks for the response. Appreciate it
Would this fit an LS4
Josh beall has one and it's hard to install lol
Still running good ?
Did this intake clear the stock hood ? And were you happy withthe performance ?
Yes and yes
@@DiabloFormulaRacing and it was going on the c5 corvette ? I was thinking about buying one but want to make sure it clears

Is that for a 5.3

how has it held up?
Still working great!
@@DiabloFormulaRacing wow, thanks for the reply. I think I’ll get this for my 97😃. Tell your son I said good luck, and thanks for serving 🇺🇸
What’s the update on that manifold? Thinking about getting one for my budget build.
Well?
Ls1, ls6, truck intake manifold provide more airflow and do not retain heat. But this aftermarket intake works just fine!
DO IT FOR DA..... wait wrong channel
blake kielbasa...BARTLE SKEETS ALL AROUND!
Do it with depression here
Leroy makin 1090 rwh right now.
Let'r rip tater chip! Bring on the big Turbski! lol
Is it ready to mount or did u had to do mods to make it work
That throttle body and intake look real well put together, nice one Andy!
The Chinese Turbo's are working good so why not the intakes? When are you hoping to have the project started Andy?
the intake runners are too small, ruining the low end torque these engines live and breathe on
You're lucky that hundred shot of NOS didnt blow the welds on the intake!
austin kenny granny shifting and not double clutchen like you should

What injectors fit in this intake and rails?
Looks comparable to Holleys intake manifold, have been looking into doing that intake and long tubes in my 5.0 f150
When I first saw the title I thought, "Don't do it Andy, it's a mistake."
After watching the video, I definitely changed my opinion. Looks bad ass
They look the same because they have to fit on the same intake. 🤷🏽♀️
I gotta have the dbw bs 😒
There is not a single "d" in the word etcetera
Do factory injectors work with this, don't understand why they use plastic intakes. Cups are plastic,vibrators are plastic.not intakes!
Thanks for the info....Please use a tripod, hate the constant movement, get dizzy watching your videos...very annoying. 😊
Serious question and please excuse my ignorance but I noticed the square ports. Can that still mount to an LQ4 with the cathedral port openings? I personally don't see a problem.
Old video but still relevant.
I got one of these and had to add a small thin square tube to add mass across the top.
It was resonating pretty bad and was amplifying every little sound of the intake.
The metal was to thin and vibrating like a speaker. It is well built but they went to cheap on the thickness and should have welded cross members internally.
I bought one of these off ebay for my LS swapped foxbody and the ad said it's for LS3 rectangular port heads. The one I got is cathedral and when I emailed the seller they said it's a 'hybrid' and it can fit on both applications. That's definitely not the case as it caused so bad of a vacuum leak that it caused my car to start at 4000rpm on my first fire... Almost destroyed my engine. Be careful when buying these. I just bought one from Summit with the correct rectangular heads so hopefully it's a little better.
You already spoiled the surprise just say what it is already. Your engine is an LS1 V8 for the Red Rocket. How big ?427 built engine or stock LS2 ?
Dude that's a bad ass intake.
The hole in the back for the map sensor but what about the brake booster vacuum line?
That looks exactly like a Holley Sniper. I visited the guys site - I don't see a way to contact him. How did you contact him? I want to see if he has any plans to offer a Gen3 hemi intake.
What Injectors should I use I got the scene thing But I got the 95 mm Throttle body it's going to be naturally aspirated on 5.3LS
"I'm not gonna lie"
EastCoastBassin read this comment right as he said it lol
Looks like a Holley Sniper
good luck with the intake
What intake is this?!
Did you happen to have A issue getting the damn map sensor to go into the back of the intake it’s like the oring is to big it just keeps cutting the oring
Wat was d price for it??
I think it's a sniper efi
I thought it looked suspiciously close to the sniper intake also...
I want to buy tge sniper efi one but the reviews say they're junk.
How would this perform on a cammed 5.3?
Jasmin Smith probably not as well as the stock truck intake that came on it unless you plan on revving it over 7k rpms
hey ,i got the same set up. what or how did you mount the map sensor on the back of the intake? theres only 1 bolt hole ???? how did you mount the thing
probably made in the same Chinese throttle body factory #18......
