Default Forced Induction intake options???

I'm planning on doing a stroker with worked L92 heads but what's a good intake manifold to do? Don't want the Holley high rise one anything else? Gonna use my turbo setup on it want all cylinders to breath better than the stock intake.......

Victor Jr. port matched to the heads? http://www.proheads.com/specials.html

Custom Sheet metal

Maybe one of the FAST manifolds?

I don't know much about them or how well they work with turbo application, but it's worth asking around.

The guys I have known with turbo LS motors in various cars typically went with something like the Victor Jr and a 90 degree sheet metal elbow.

I went with the truck intake, mainly based on my goals and talking to a lot of more experienced people than I. They all said basically the same thing, for a truck wanting good out of boost performance the truck intake is the best. Sure the single plane sheet metal intakes would be great at upper RPMs but you are really going to suffer in a lack of torque at low rpm and no boost.

Good to know thanks man, I'll ask around about the FAST ones but I like the idea of that Victor Jr with an elbow

See the only problem I don't wanna go with the truck intake is because many here and a few techs from shops say it's good for NA engines but not under boost the way they flow cylinder 5 and 7 run extra hot under boost I'm down 2 L92 lol don't wanna brake this one!!! Lol can the stock one be ported and still be good under boost???

If the tune is good then your not gonna have a problem with 5 and 7.
The stock intake is plenty unless you plannin on 1500+ hp

Meh..... The tune is the key to keeping things safe ESPECIALLY with boost. My friend and tuner runs 8's on the same engine using an LS6 intake for over 6 years now..... 1100 whp.... just sayin

Unless you're just set on spending money, I really don't see the 5/7 cylinder problems being an issue. If you did want to swap it out, I'd go with a FAST, though. I know fitment issues have been a big complaint, but that'd be my only option, because the whole 90 degree elbow/sheetmetal deal is not exactly ideal for low-end. Most cars (and trucks, if you run into them), turn serious rpm's that run those setups.
