Well I have only found 2 options for buying an intake manifold for my 95 LS. I'm planning on boosting hopefully in the near future and I have been told that this would be a good step before installing the turbo.
I've seen the JG and the Skunk2 manifolds. I haven't seen much information on the JG except that it is 7lbs. lighter than the stock manifold. For the Skunk2s, they say that they produce 8-15 more hp over stock and even more on turbo engines. Skunk2 also says that they are great for revving from 7-10,000 RPM. Last time I checked, I redlined at around 6800 RPM soooooo. JG's manifold is about $50 more than Skunk2's also.
Any suggestions, stories, or whatever please let me know. Thanks.

 

i heard VENOM's intake manifold is ideal for turbo applications due to the LARGE plenum and interior surface area (~$500 tho )

 

whew! $500?! is venom really a good company? well JG is supposed to be a huge manifold also.

 

JG and Venom are both too big imho. They are for high-boost motors that already have a ton of turbo lag. For a more reasonable setup I would stick with skunk2.

 

Can it really be TOO big though if it weighs 7 lbs less? It's allowing more air right so is there really a problem?

 

That's like saying that a 5" inch exhaust allows more air so why not get one.

 

I guess you're right but tell me what the downside to the large size is then.

 

Bigger does not always mean better. Its all about design. JG is a divison of EDLEBROCK, one of the oldest and most reputable companies when it comes to intake manifild manufactures. I would say go with them or Skun2, those are your BEST options.

 

which brings me back to my original question.

 

well...lets narrow this down..what psi do you plan on running?? if you tell us this, we can narrow it down.
