Default Fast 78MM Intake?

I can get ahold of a FAST 78 intake for 400 its comes with everything to install and its only about 80bucks more than a ls6 intake goes for is it worth it?

I heard its about 10RWHP difference.

Im putting LT's and ORY on too and doing a mail order tune.

Probably not worth the extra $100. I have a ported FAST 78, and gained nothing over an LS6 intake.
