Go with the LS6. Search the classifieds and find one for a good price.

yup. an ls6 intake will run you between $300-$375. most people get rid of em to get a F.A.S.T intake. like PowerShift408 said, check the parts for sale section. there are usually a couple for sale there.

The FAST is really a better option for all out power or bigger cubed motors. I think that the LS6 should suit you well.

Edit: I saw one for sale in someone's signature a few days ago. I think that they wanted 275 for it. Probably long gone though. I will post up if I see it again.

The ls6 intake manifold is still the best bang for the buck (used), even though there are other intakes out now. You have to watch the for sale section like a hawk!
