Default Gains with a F.A.S.T. 90 intake and NW 90 TB

I'm thinking about buying a FAST 90 intake and NW TB and was wondering what kind of gains I could expect with the mods that have already been done to my car. The mods were done before I bought the car so I don't know much about them. This is what I was told has been done to the car and it appears to be well taken care of. The guy seemed real honest and the car only has 24,000 miles. He told me that everything was done by Texas Speed.

I would estimate 10-15rwhp although I'm probably on the low side.

i just added a slightly bigger cam and a fast 90mm intake w/nk th-body. my gain on a stang dyno was 23hp for both. so the intake alone should be worth around 15hp.

Ok... but are they going from the stock 98-00 Intake Mani. to the FAST 90? or the 01-02 LS6 to the FAST 90...

...he already has the LS6 intake mani. on his 01 WS6.... Would there still be a big gain? enough to justify the cost at least??

LS6/ported stock TB to Self ported Fast 90/90 = 17 HP gain. The 90/90 combo never made less HP than the LS6 combo at any RPM.

HOSS-30hp from the fast impressive. if it was on a dynojet they do like to give #'s for free. i'm on a stang dyno and this thing we call the humbler. i was on a dynojet a few years with my old set up and it gave me like 407 hp. a week later i got on the humbler and got 378hp from it.
