Default Fast 90/90 or 73?

Just curious what peoples thoughts are on the setup. All I plan to do is have a moderate to slightly aggressive cam sometime in the future and Im not sure which setup I need to go with. Currently have TDs and headers so Id like to get all the air flowing before a cam. Would a 90/90 suit me fine or do I need smaller like a 73? I plan to get a FAST no matter what the case.

Might as well go with the 90/90 if you're gonna do it.

Default Intake

Dont waste your money on either, if your only going mild upgrade to a LS6 intake for 1/4 of the price, and save that cash for something else. You wont see much gains with the fast vs LS6 unless you go big

The TB you already have but ported. The 90/90 stuff is best when going max effort. Just get ya a LS6 intake and have your TB ported.

Alrighty...definately is cheaper. Can you get the LS6 ported or no? Dont really know of any shops in town that do port jobs. Is there somewhere i can get a TB/LS6 already ported and send back the cores?

*Edit* Noticed you do port jobs. Do you sell TBs or would I need to send in the core first?

The FAST comes in 2 sizes 78 MM or 90.

IMO, if you aren't doing heads don't waste your money on either. Get an LS6 intake (about $300) and be done with it. The LS6 takes a 78 MM TB. Many shops port the LS6 but the gains from that are minimal.

Yes, 6-8rwhp gain of a ported TB is "minimal" but everybit helps
