don't worry about gains, the FAST just flows so much nicer than a crap stocker. the mid range gains and *** dyno is where it counts.
and i agree, get a cam! cam + FAST = the secks.

Intake was $550 with stock rails and injectors I resold, tb was $150 used IIRC and was a FAST brand POS that I had to grind on to keep from sticking. I wouldn't buy a new FAST for a stock cube car...too expensive. At the time I bought mine intakes were selling used for $750+ so I thought it was a steal and couldn't resist. Had to paint it though, the gray plastic looks like ****. Can of satin black and a white paint pen made it a sexy piece though.
I ported the runner walls enough to remove the wedges and blended them and cleaned up all casting flash inside the intake.

I felt an increase in throttle response, but no noticeable power gains until above 4000rpm. I was literally pissed and frowning on my first drive after fighting the intake and tb 3-4 hours to get it on and not hanging. Finally went wot and felt a wave of disappointment....until the tach swept over 4...then the pull was more than noticeable and I got a **** eating grin

The FAST outshines the ls6 over 5500RPMs... Before that they are pretty equal. You definitely won't lose anything.
For the money, the FAST is a great mod.. Especially with a cam car that spin over 5500RPMs (all of us).
I have right at 1300$ in my ported 102mm intake/PTM 92mm TB.. I bought the intake brand new and had it ported (plus I had to pay tax since I bought in state).
I am hoping to pick up right around 25-30Rwhp give or take over my ls6 intake/tb setup. There isn't a whole lot more I can upgrade/add in my setup to pick up any more power... Electric water pump is about it for adding things.. I still have the MAF and lid to upgrade and then a custom ram air.. After that I will go to a nice set of mamofied AFRs. My combo is pretty well balance, I should still be able to hit some high 1.4X short times on motor with the new intake.. I'm just looking to gain 2-3mph which would bring my ET down .1-.2. For the money, AWESOME! IMO.

I did not lose any low end or mid range...and it gained some...just not much. The BIG gains were 4k rpm up.
Contrary to what a lot of people might say this intake does not HURT your low-mid power. It just gives a huge improvement in upper power. Throttle response was much better too.

I didn't buy one to help out my 60' or 330... I bought it to help pull me on the big end, that is what I needed since my cam is on the smaller side.
