STEVE-O Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 http://www.jegs.com/p/Holley/Weiand-LS1-Aluminum-Intake-Manifold/750900/10002/-1 so pretty much I have this offered to me in a trade... looked on ls1 tech etc and could not get a good consensis... what do you guys think of this manifold??? again I will be getting it in a trade for the things I dont use anyway so it will be almost a free upgrade for me... so pretty much all I ahve been able to find is ls6 and fast= god but I already know that I jsut wanted to see how well the weind held up in comparison to these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Removed Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 aluminum heat soaks real bad. why you think most of the intakes for these out are made out of composite materials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tbutera2112 Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 rob, arent our intakes both aluminum? i dont think an ls1 is gonna heat more than a bbf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinisterSS Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 that's the intake I have on my car, it works fine I haven't had any issues with it, its better than the LS6 intake but not as good as the Fast, also note that's the intake GM used on the 2002 ZL1 camaro with the LS7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 About the same as an LS6 manifold performance wise, and a heat soaking piece of shit. Don't beleive me I have one. One of the first aftermarket manifolds offered for the LS1 and it is better then the stock LS1 but that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tbutera2112 Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 if its an essentially "free" upgrade, why not just do it and test it out yourself? if you like it keep it, if not, sell it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cordell Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 There is a reason so many things are popular for an LS1 f-body. LS6 intakes, cnc'd LS6 or 5.3 heads, cams in the 224-236 duration 550-600 lift range, because these are the things that work well for these engines on a budget. Want to spend more money and pick up a few extra ponies buy a Fast intake, and some TrickFlow or AFR heads, but don't think that the shit Edelbrock, Weiand, or Holley makes for these engines to be worth a shit.

STEVE-O Posted September 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 well I will be trading my wheels and dry n20 kit for a set of stock wheels with better tire life... a set of springs and this intake brand new still in the box... I said almost free because I will ahve to either get the ls6 coolant lines or modify mine... I thought it would be about as good as a ls6 but not as good as a fast and that is what I wanted to hear... Also I found the short block I want to go with and now I jsut ahve to plan pout what trick flow heads and cam I want to go with... I wont be using this on my new motor anyway so if it does get heatsoaked a little bit I am ok with that for now... thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
