Default What would I gain? Worth it?

Sup guys, I have been debating as to wether get a FAST 90/90 set up in my car. Currently Im Volant CAI, BBK 80mm TB, LS6 intake. I have a Trex cam and stock heads in a 2000 WS6, if I slap on a FAST set up would I really gain anything if its going through the stock heads still? Car made 423rwhp cam only with the current set up.

Get heads first for sure. With stock cubes, the 90 isn't a must.

Just to be clear.......don't know if it is what you mean (just what it sounded like).....adding the heads will still maintain stock displacement. On a H/C car...especially with your choice of cam.....you should see a decent gain with the 90/90 setup. If I had to gues....maybe 8-12 rwhp. That is what I picked up when adding the 90/90 setup.

just buy a set of 243's with that money then save for the 90.

Get a set of used 243s,it will net the same HP as a Fast 90. The Fast will gain HP but lose TQ over the LS6

from my educated guess I gained about 20rwhp from a ls1 intake to a ported 90/90

you might be better off spending money elsewhere first
