Default fast 90

i found a great deal on a fast lsx 90mm intake manifold, with a professional port job, never installed. i only have an intake and catback, but only cuz ive been waiting on what to buy. this car will have cam/heads within a year, along with the rest of the boltons, so my big question is If i pick up this manifold then buy a 90mm TB and slap it on now with just in take and catback will i be hurting anything? i know the gains wont be as much as they could be but will it hurt anything? and even with a straight bolt on car will he help much? also what kind of tune will i need?
thanx everyone

dont think it will hurt anything too much not too sure tho. If it gonna be a while before the heads and cam go in just get youre vehicle tuned by a local shop to get the most out of your car

worse case scenerio, you only pick up a few horses until you get your heads and cam put in...im not 100% sure about if it will hurt or help with stock...but it should help with heads and cam...but they still look good

Won't hurt anything, but it'll prolly idle like **** until you get it tuned.

Pick up the piece and don't worry about the install for a while. once you have your H/C together, plop that sucker on and tune. No use having to tune twice when only minimal gain will come on the first one.
