Default Fast intake and TB questions

hey guys,
I currently have an ls6 intake and ported TB running on my 422 and making good power at 505 rwhp. Over the winter I was considering changing the intake setup. What kinda of gains do you would think I would get going to a larger say 85 mm MAF, the 90 mm FAST TB, and the FAST intake? I was just wondering what anyones thoughts were one gains, ideas etc. And which MAF to get or should i keep the stock ?

No one has got to bolt these on the car yet or at least they are not saying. I would hope for what a plastic intake cost it would be good. If you are looking for good gains we have a sheetmetal intake that is working great on the bigbore motors. I know it is a little more pricy but I know it works and it looks good too.

That intake is expensive as hell and sweetass also, I think you would see a pretty good gain going to the LSX intake and a 90mm TB. All assuming the claims by F.A.S.T will hold up when the product comes out. Good Luck

The cam is a comp cams 250/258 .620/.620. 114 pretty aggressive but its not a daily driver so. Had to do many tunes to get it to idle right which is pretty high. HP numbers are through open exhaust etc. I can work on getting a sounds or video clip up for you.
