I vote for the Z6 intake manifold.

Shorter runners, plenum isn't as large.

Why???

The runners on the D16Y8 intake manifold are fatter and shorter which provides better performance.

this mod will only give you better throttle response unless you have a lot of crap done to your motor. they run anywhere from 100-175 for it depending what they have on it.
