Hello. My buddy is putting a 224/224 .561/.561 112 LSA in his 98 A4 Bolt on TA. He currently has a BBK Intake and a P/P TB from New Era. Which intake would see the most HP/TQ? I think he'd be fine with the BBK, but would there be any benefit switching to a FAST 78? I think a FAST 90 would be overkill for a small cam. Also, he has my old 2000 heads going on to. UNTOUCHED heads, not ported, not polished, just bolted on. So basically a 2000 "Cam Only" car. Which intake do you guys think? Thanks.

EDIT: He has a Weiand Intake. Not a BBK. Does that make any difference? Thanks.

LS6 for what you posted; FAST90 for future if he plans on better heads.

Well the most HP/TQ would be the 90/90 but it would be marginal over the 78mm setup. IMO if he's sticking with a little 224 cam then the BBK or LS6 is all you need. No sense spending $1K to gain only 10 or so HP on a smaller cam-only car.

You don't think the 90 will lose a little over one of the smaller intakes? From what I've read it seems like the FAST 90 is overkill. Also what would the gains be from a BBK vs FAST 78. Is that a close call too? Within +/- 5 HP?

I do not like any of those intakes, but for a mild mod car, they will work just fine. There are realy better things to spend your money on then any of these intakes.

I plan on adding a ported FAST 90/90 myself.

Well you've also got yourself some damn nice heads on there too

Yeah, with those heads, I would. In fact, I did. But I'm looking for opinions on BONE STOCK heads and a 224 cam. Anybody who has this cam, what intake are you rocking?

I would just run an LS6 if I were on a budget which sounds like you might be. But on a side note throw some .040 gaskets when you have the heads off and than he will see a decent gain in power switching heads.

Yeah, definitely on a budget. The LS6 is beating up on the BBK in the poll. Is the LS6 > BBK or does the BBK just not have a big following? I'm assuming some Cometic .040 gaskets and the 224 would really have no PTV issues, since real men don't check PTV clearence. They just throw it in and go.
