need your opinions please ok here's the deal. ive been thinking about getting the fast 90/NW 90 setup for a while now and ive finally told myself to do it.well the problem is i cant really spare the full cost of the intake and t.b so i was thinking about buying the t.b first and save the money up for the intake. what you guys do? wait? or piece it together?

Well I would be lieing if I told you getting this set up was a good idea at all in your position.
You have a very mild cam, headers that are doing no more then the stock manafolds were, and already have the ls6 and 80mm TB...
quite simply your motor is not going to benifate much(if at all) from the added intake flow since it is not being choked up right now...
At a maximum you are looking at gaining 7-8 hp for 1000 bux???
this just makes no sence at all...
IMHO the 90/90 is what you do when you are trying to squeeze a max effort out of a serious H/C or built motor car...
your mod list does not show a TQ converter... Your money would be much better spent there.
But if you are dead set on getting the 90/90 then save up and buy it all at once as the TB wont work without the intake and visa/versa...
Best of luck...

Minus the TC (since now you have a 6-speed) My advice stays the same... 1000 bucks can get you much more bang elsewhere then the 90/90 will...
Snag a Ls6 intake from the classified section for 200-250 bucks
As for how to spend the rest...
What are your goals for the car? If you know that, then it is much easier to help with a mod plan...

Its hard cuz you know that fast intake looks beautiful sittin on that ls1 block I understand. But I agree, there are a few items u need before you drop 1000 bucks for 10 horses. Theres no need for all that extra cfms and air flow, if youre motors not built to use it.
