Default need opinions on intake options/build

so my last setup in my car was a 11:1 383 tfs 215/s fast 90 and 242/246 113lsa cam, I spun a bearing last year, and now in the process of building a 408 with the intentions of going with a pt88, but my cars been down long enough so in the mean time im gonna keep it N/A. the current plan is to use a -16cc dish using my old n/a cam also getting my tfs 215s completely ported and polished larger intake valves and getting whatever intake I go with port matched but thats what im undecided on at this point im thinking of going with a fast 102 and NW102 tb or is there better options for me? i know the older fast 90's did not do so good with boost.

so im assuming ur N/A i know there great for that...im just questioning how they do under boost.im just questioning how they do under boost, really looking for something that gives me the best of both worlds one that will work good and not be a complete dog while my cars n/a but will put down good numbers under boost

anyone else have any ideas? I like the price of the ls6 but will it be choking a 408 with such high flowing heads?

I run a LSX 427 with a GT55-94mm turbo with a Ported FAST 90mm intake and I have been 157 mph in the quarter at 4030 lbs race weight on 17.5 lbs of boost. I have ran my Fast intake plenty with boost with no problems at all...so far 19 psi is the most boost I have run with it.

I would just keep what you have, don't have to spend anymore money and can just slap it back on.

You could always run it while you are N/A and then when you get ready to go turbo sell it or trade it for something better. I am in the same situation. I was going to run the new Holley (either mini-ram or hi-ram) but Im tired of waiting on parts and spending money without anything to show for it so I am putting my ported 92 back on my car with my S480 and just change it later, IF I want to.

Hope this helps...

The LS6 intake will be fine.. not going to be choking it with pressurized atmospheric conditions in the intake tract.
