ls3 intake only works with ls3/l92 heads. ls6 intake is the best stock intake for your heads.

Yup, you cant compare them. They are not interchangable.

A FAST makes power on everything from stock to all out. It made 21rwhp on my stock headed, stock exhaust manifold, stock cam (190 @ .050 .469" lift) 6.0L.

If you have ported heads and cam the FAST is the way to go. Ive installed and tested a lot of them. Ive even ran the 90mm/92mm/102mm versions on my truck.

I see your from Lima, OH. Going to UNOH?

Yea if you can afford it I'd definitely getta fast. If not an LS6 intake is a cheap upgrade that would also be well worth it.
