Fixing FAST intake, is it worth it?
Been looking at getting a FAST intake and found one local on Craigslist. Has a broken vacuum port in the rear, its the small one right next to the booster port. Basically wondering if its possible to plastic weld or fill with some epoxy. I will post a picture when I am on a PC. It's basically cracked off at the base of the port, I know its hard to explain.
It's the LSXRT 102 intake, and since hood clearance isn't an issue and its a nice price off of a new one I figured I'd ask if anyone has done a fix like this before.

He's selling the intake for $750 obo. I figure I can get $400 for the LS6 and P&P TB that I have now. It comes with seals and everything needed
I'm switching to a custom grind EPS cam that's 0.050 higher lift and 7/10 more duration, as well as getting my Yank restalled to 4k. I'm just wondering if this would be a cost effective mod at this point. I'm almost 100% positive the car will be too fast for the local track because they are strict with NHRA rules, so that plays in alot in my decision as well. It just seems too good to pass up...
