Default What Intake Should I Go With??

im wanting to put a intake on my car, i either want to go with the FAST 78mm or the LS6, i wana know what u guys think will be the best with my set up, i have a 100 shot, headers, exhaust, tune, tb, and lid, i have heard the fast looses bottom end and gains top end and the ls6 is good all around, i need you opionions here guys, or if there is a different intake that you would recommend then throw it out there

thanks,
billy

LS6 or FAST 92/92 for N/A
Vic Jr or GMPP for F/I

Wouldn't bother with anything in between.

They are pre-orders.

Just do the LS6 for right now. The 78 isn't worth the money untill you get heads/cam then I'd opt for a ported 92/92 setup.

p.s. If you have a 2001 or 2002 F-body your car comes stock with a LS6 intake.

The LS6 is great for a bolton car but if u have plans for H/C down the road you might as well get a ported fast 92 and nw tb.

if you buy a ported FAST, becareful which sponsor you buy it from. One on here doesnt do much of a port job.
Ask for pictures of their port jobs, and send it back if it doesnt look like the pictures
do your homework

well i actually just took a FAST 78 off my car becouse of the bogging issue in low end, and the people who put it on didnt know they had to change those bolts and crossover for the LS6 and the FAST so i had a horible vacume leak, so im prob going with the LS6, and most likley ill never get H/C so LS6 should be good with my nitrous setup and all that good stuff, thanks for your help guys

I have an LS6, one of the best mods I have done. I just bought a used fast 90 though. I figure I might as well start collecting parts for a build because it is going to be a slow one.
