Default Sheet Metal Intakes with Boost?

As most of you know I really hate stock LS3 and FAST intakes and I do not want to put either of these on my new motor. I am looking for the guys that use or have used sheet metal intakes on there motors to share there opinions and thoughts! Also drivability and tuning ease!

I am not looking for major gains as my car is a street car with some track visits each year. I know most of you guys are going to bust my ***** but I refuse to put a chunk of plastic on top of my motor!

Pics of your setups would be great also, thanks Gents!

Bling for the clown here for sure. I was thinking you had a intake brain. That will look nice setting on top with a good tuner it should work with no problems. Doug can help you out on which one to get here to fit under the hood also. TPIS stuff is high $$$Robert

Yep. My 402 with a F1-R loves this combo over a FAST setup. Plus it will give better air distribution over a FAST/sheetmetal intake.

Please tell me that you ported that vic jr and have data to support that claim. I wouldn't put a vic jr on a golf cart as it comes out of the box.

I already have a ported LS3, and just deciding to go with a sheet metal possibly!

I didn't know you were selling yours.

Berry Motorsports, special made for Keith Berry, only one exists.

I'm liking the Hogan, maybe you should start a group buy.

Edit: never mind, I looked, they're $2,800.
