Default Intake advise

I need some help guys. I've researched several intakes here, and so far the fast has got my attention. I'm just trying to swallow $300 more for the fast intake over any other intake... Any good salesman out there that can bump me to $770 for the fast intake? Just looking for advantages from the fast intake over any other... T.I.A

Speaking about the 90? or the 78? If it's a question of the 78 vs the LS6, just go LS6... 90 vs the LS6 will make more power, but the question is, what are your mods?

LS6 manifold will suffice.

Pick it up used or find a good deal on a new one.

I got mine new for $300 from an individual seller.

IMO You'd be just fine with the LS6 and saving the difference for some other stuff I mean I'm sure you could get a few more HPs out of a 78fast or 90fast, but do the means justify the ends? On a stock motor i personally don't believe so.

You're right is an extra couple horse power justifiable enough for $300? probs wouldn't even show up at the track... thanks for the replies... (is justifiable a word?)

Sure is... take the coin and maybe get a SSRA II or FTRA? From what I hear they have somewhat noticeable gains (both on street and track).
