Default Ported FAST 90 worth it?

I have a set of TEA 1.5 5.3's. As far as I know, there's nothing special about them Would it be worth it for me to drop the extra money on a ported FAST 90, or just go with an off the shelf unit.

If they aren't port matched does it really matter?

A "ported FAST" is more than just port matched. Port matched means the intake holes line up with and are the exact size as the head holes. A ported intake often means work was done on the inside of the intake to allow more air to flow.

If $1000 for ~20 HP is worth it then go for it.

Well I was going to go with the FAST 90 because of the direct port capabilities. I don't have a monster set of heads and was just wondering if it would be worth it.

The direct port feature is great and worth the $ if you are going that route.

My friend has one (Fast 90) at his house and I was looking at it and it is a nice looking piece Saturday and when I was looking up into the runners are they cutting the groove out of the inside? Thanks
