Default BBK SSI Intake mani OVER Skunk2???? B18C

well im curently running the stock GSR intake mani with the secondarys butterflies and to me this is a loss of power and it seems to have no lower end torque becuase it kicks in when the secondarys open up i think around 5800-6k some people say it's better to stick with the OEM GSR mani to just get the butterflies removed and Port the intake mani....

but im thinking about going with a BBK SSI intake manifold over the Skunk2 becuase some poeple say the skunk2 is alright and other have nuttin but good to say about it i wana go a different route and go with the BBK SSI one anyone here have any input on them?? anyone here ever used one in there setup before?

If you are going turbo get the Edelbrock victor x. If you are staying all motor get the edelbrock performer X. I believe the bbk is just a slightly more expensive victor x.

The best N/A manifold on the market is the the edelbrock performer X. Runs about $300 and stomps all over any other non-reworked, non custom intake manifolds.

The pattern from ls to gsr is different. The bbk one doesn't look bad but make sure you get one that will fit your engine.
