Not sure about the factory flow rate difference between the cast and aluminum L6 intakes.However, I like the v8 Edelbrock Airgap intake. It does seem to help with fuel vaporizing . I used the factory style valley pan with mine to help keep the oil splash down after trying the none pan style intake gasket.

If anything, the 6 cyl aluminum/water-heated intake may flow worse due to the electric heater prongs that sit directly below the carb, but they can be ground down/cut off if not wanted. On the other hand, the weight savings over the cast iron manifold may be worth any flow reduction - it's quite a difference.
