Here is my LS6 vs Ported Fast 85 (originally fast 78) + underdrive results. I'd have to say the fast was worth 20-25 rwhp over the LS6 through. About 20 ftlbs more through the entire curve. I sold my LS6 for $300 and paid $300 for a Fast 78. No brainer... All the info is in my signature link.

depends on how much the 78 is...and you have to include the price of the throttle body into this calculation, especially for a car without cam and/or heads that isn't going to pick up as much
say you can get the 78mm for $300-400 or less and do a little easy port work and gain 10-15hp over the ls6...amazing deal
say the 90mm is $500-650 you do some of the same light porting and you still need a 90mm tb for $200+ to gain 15-20hp over the ls6...not as amazing

The restriction on 440 rwhp car is not caused from 85mm throttle body I will tell you that right now. With the LS6 intake I would drop 4-5 kpa on the map reading above 3000 rpm. Now with my ported fast 85 the most drop I see is 0-1 kpa. So my barometric pressure is around 95 kpa and I had a 5 kpa drop with LS6 intake 95/90=1.055. This means I had the potential to gain 5.5% more power just from getting my kpa restriction out. My old setup made 411 rwhp so 411x5.5%=22.6hp, as you can see the math is very close. I do not think my car would gain anything with a 90mm setup, a fast 78 just sold a few weeks ago for $350 in the classifieds. The fast 78 and fast 90 use the same runners. I spent about 15 hours on my intake, radiusing all the entrances real nice, removing all the high spots, blending the runners and port matching the bottom shell to the heads. It takes time to do a nice job and you need to take it all the way apart.

I bought my FAST 78 for 250.00, incredible deal. The seller is member here and had hurt his motor, so he decided to sell off parts to fund his new motor. The FAST should be back from the porters next week and to sweeten things, I found a guy selling a 90 upper locally. I may buy that this weekend if it checks out.
