Best Bang for the buck INTAKE

I am considering an new intake for my 01 WS6. I have the following mods. (ported TB, QTP headers, 224/224 112LSA cam, Lid) I road course at best. Weekend warrior 5-6K per year. What would work best or am I throwing money away. Need advice.

FAST is a very popular intake with LS1 guys that go with a cam or heads or both. I see you have a cam so that might be the way to go.

01 already has the Ls6 intake. The BBK is the next step up with a 85 mm TB

LS6 is plenty for what you have. If you're wanting bang for the buck, I would just stay with that one.

A BBK intake is going to net you much, if anything over a LS6. Stay LS6 or drop money on a FAST92/92 set-up. It really depends on what the extra power will actually do for ya....

+1. the best bang for the buck intake is already on the car. if you had a bigger cam and drag-oriented setup i would suggest a single plane, but since you mentioned road course, etc...stick with the polymer crossover style.
