Default Which intake for 90mm tb?

I've got an edelbrock 90mm tb from an old project. I'm wondering which intake I should use. I was going to go with a fast intake but recently saw the TPIS ls6 with the 90mm opening. open to all suggestions will be full bolt ons heads and cam in spring

I have used a TPIS 90 (resnouted LS6) as well as a FAST 102 on my LS6, both with a 90mm LS2 TB.

I would put it on a FAST 102 if it will fit and seal.

you can find a used fast 90/92 intake for $650.I believe there are some alum intakes your TB will work on for $399 new.

Let me clarify- I have used two setups on my LS6 motor. One setup was the TPIS 90mm intake manifold with an LS2 90mm throttle body. I then switched to a FAST 102 intake manifold and used the same LS2 90mm throttle body.

Of the two setups, I believe the second one is better.

Well I did pick 15hp using the TPIS which is not a bad deal if you already own an LS6 manifold to serve as a "core" (Cost about $350 for the mod). If you have no manifold the TPIS cost is $850 which makes the jump to the FAST 102 intake a much better deal. The FAST 102 does have more plenum.

thanks for the info. i'll prob. go with the fast 102 at least there is more room to go with a bigger tb later if for some reason a 90 becomes to small
