Default Fast 78MM Intake?

I can get ahold of a FAST 78 intake for 400 its comes with everything to install and its only about 80bucks more than a ls6 intake goes for is it worth it?

I heard its about 10RWHP difference.

Im putting LT's and ORY on too and doing a mail order tune.

Go with the Fast and if you want you can take it out to 85mm for the cost of tb.

Probably not worth the extra $100. I have a ported FAST 78, and gained nothing over an LS6 intake.

Well 400 or 900+,

Anways I got it and one more question I know since my car is a 00 that I have the X-pipe coolant lines and everywhere I read says that its a direct bolt in I dont have to change them like with an LS6 intake is this true?
