For the mods you have, I would save some money and get an LS6 intake.

If you plan on doing more down the line then ported Fast 92/92 is the best. I would think that you would get about 15-20rwhp over your ls1 intake as it is. Then more to gain if you decide to do heads down the road. But if your on a budget you would be just fine with a stock ported throttle body and used ls6 intake. The ls6 intakes hold their value very well and if you do decide that a Fast is for you then you can always get one and sell your ls6 intake for the same as you bought it for. On average the ls6 intake sells for $300-350 used in the classified section.

True. FAST will net you the most gains, and therfore is most expensive. Porting your Throttle Body ($75 www.neweraperformanceparts.com ) and buying an LS6 intake is the best bang for the buck.
