Default Ls6 vs fast

Hey guys I’m getting my parts to gather to do a head and cam package. I’ve ordered a set of AFR heads and a magic stick 3. I’m looking into the intakes the Fast intakes are really expensive haha. Do they make that much difference or would I be just fine with a ls6? Thanks

As MS3 really? There's better options out there 20 years later.

What power level are you after?
Also, as has been said, there are better cams than the MS3. It is a very old design, and cam tech has passed it up.

Can you point me in the right direction then. Looking for whatever we can squeeze out of this ls1 without touching the bottom end.

What will you be using this for? "Whatever we can squeeze out of this LS1" doesn't say a thing about its purpose.
Power level? (again...)
Which size heads did you order?

It's a streetcar. No drag strip out here in Hawaii. Stop light to stop light kind of things. AFR recommended 215cc heads. Power level I'd love to somewhere in the high 450 to 500hp mark

With those heads and an LS6 manifold, get yourself a Summit Ghost cam.
