I personally gained 21rwhp from swapping to a FAST intake. No tuning, no porting, same dyno, same day, same hour, average of three pulls each for each (no glory pulls) just solid data.
We can talk numbers and dyno grpahs all you want but the REAL determining factor is when you hit the gas pedal for the first time. The smile it will put on your face will make it worth every penny, and I dont have headers or anything. Stone stock!!!!

- he has a 6.0 block, not 5.7
- he's comparing an LS2 intake to the fast intake
- not sure what heads he has, not 241's anyway

Sweet should post his engine info with his dyno results. People probably assume he has a 'stone stock' LS1 (because this is a gen III room) but he doesn't.

I have a BIG FAT picture of an LS2 appearing engine with every post, there is nothing Im not sharing. I have an LQ9 shortblock with Stock LS2 cam, Stock LS2 heads, Stock LS2 intake, Stock LS2 Throttle body, with Stock LS1 exhaust manifolds. Its an iron reproduction of a stock LS2.

It was pulled out on the dyno way past its peak just to see since I had 918 springs and .105" wall pushrods. It actually probably needs to look like this, since the engine was obviously was running out of breath....

It's worth it, the only thing to consider is if your are going to get different heads later then you have to do the intake install twice. Look for a used FAST or FAST combo in the FS section and by the time you sell your LS6 you are not really out much money for some decent gains and a lot more potential depending on your future set up.

And I think the first post I disagreed with you a long time ago was in a thread about a bone stock 98 LS1. You told that guy he should get a fast intake too. Bad advice.

I think while massls1guys is somehow right because its not the same from going to LS2 6.0l engine with a FAST than a 5.7l and LS6 intake. But I have to say that someone going from a LS1 intake would show very similar gain in a 5.7l.
But sweets10v8 results speak for themselves; 21rwhp more with nothing else than the bare FAST is a kickass result.

Well Mods are below. How much more horses could I squeeze out with a FAST and would it even be noticable?

Well, in fact I dont think anyone is right or wrong here..I should have write massls1guy is pointing some good info..
I see youre just sharing real results and I appreciate.
I checked the dyno section since my first post here about the FAST setup in almost every situation and I know the results vary a lot from every setup. The only real fact is the more mods you have and the better the FAST is. Some plp with stock heads and cam had very good results, like you, but some just saw from 5-10hp..
I placed my order on a ported FAST 92mm today, I can tell that I can only hope that I will be one of the plp that will get the FAST magic results. 21rwhp is more than I really hope.
I'll be back with the results in 2-3weeks.

Your doubletalking...."similar gains on a 5.7L w/ LS1 intake" means you think Im right too. I dont want a right or wrong, Im just showing positive results (not promising anyone they will gain 21hp). Just passing on my information with my personal opinion of what I got for the money I spent. Because Im happy, doesnt make me incorrect! ![Thinker](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/thinker.gif)

"I checked the dyno section since my first post here about the FAST setup in almost every situation and I know the results vary a lot from every setup."
some of that is due to difference in dynos. not everyone does a before and after, same day, same dyno, same tune....
that's why i did mine that way. it was as close to apples-2-apples as possible.
