Default good question

I'm currently working on a 5.7 Ls1 that is bone stock. I'm adding a tsp MS4 cam and stage 1 LS6 heads.
I recently found a 102 Fast intake for cheap. I'm wondering if this intake will be helpful or too much for my combo.. I will also be adding the Throttle body to match the intake.
I fear that this intake will be too much for my current combo. The amount of air coming in alone could be too much for the combo. This car already has headers and a magnaflow exhaust. Am i being a worry wort or am i on the right track to having more horsepower??

The FAST 102mm is gonna be too big for what you have bud. Unless you plan on building the motor more you will be more than fine with a ported LS6 intake. If you go nitrous or boost then thats when you should consider a 102mm Intake.
