Default intake swap

I was just wondering what intake i should put one the TA and what tb it would be great to hear what all you have. what kind of mods do you have to do to the manifold to make it work or does it bolt strait up? best gains?

year of your car would help...


for any stage of modification, the ls6 beats the ls1 intake

the FAST 90/90 beats the ls6 on cam, heads/cam, stroker, and forced induction applications.

if you're going with a H/C package, upgrade to a fast 90/90 setup all at one time. If you just plan on going with bolt ons, and a cam later, an ls6 will be just fine.
