Default Fast Intake Manifold

I Was Wondering If It Would Be Wise To Buy A Fast 90mm Intake And Throttle Body For A Future Turbo Setup. Will That Work Well With Say The New Street Killer Turbo Kit. I Need To Sell My Truck Before I Can Purchase The Turbo So I Have Some Money To Spend. I Am Trying To Think Of Performance Upgrades That Aren't To Expensive
That I Can Do That Will Benefit A Turbo Setup Later Down The Road. Any Advice Thanks.

Well that right there and the FAST idea dont go togeather then.....
Stick with the LS6 intake. Wont be worth much over a LS6 in FI.
Use your $$ better elsewhere.

it depends on what cubic inch you plan your engine to be. On a 346, you wouldn't see much of a gain, so your money would be better spent somewhere else.
On a 427ci with 12psi, we have seen 60 RWHP with a FAST 90MM int & TB over a ported TB and LS6, at the same boost level, which is a worthwhile improvement.

i think if you could get even a 15-20rwhp gain itd be worth it
