Default FAST worth it with TR224 & PRC heads?

Does anyone know how much rwhp a FAST 90/90 combo approximately is worth over just an ls6 / ported stock tb on a TR224/PRC or similar head?

i gained 24hp over my ls6 intake on a mustang dyno w/my fast 90. add a bigger cam,like the LG g5x1 228/232 and you should see 35 to 40 hp more.

i only can justify it with bigger cubes or huge cames with over 23x/23x duration

I have the TR 224 and the PRC heads but not the Fast 90. I have elected to go with a bigger cam with higher lift ie. .647 intake and .593 exhaust to take more advantage of my heads. The TR cam only has lift in the .563 range and it is not using the full potential of the head. However, installing a fast 90 intake would be a lot easier than the cam.

It's worth it if you have all the other bolt-ons. I see people blow $$ on stuff that doesn't work all the time,atleast the intake is worth it.

it is worth some horsepower. after you get past heads/cam/bolt ons, each 10rwhp costs 5x more than before.

Exactly. $1000 for >25rwhp is not a bad deal once you're already cam'd with heads.
