That depends on who you ask If you decide to get one though definitely get one used. Unported it will make 10-12 over an LS6 so that is your decision.

not when you just compare the two but if you were to add a bigger Cam and ever do anything to the motor it will help alot. Its not just hp numbers you have to look at its airflow too..

Expensive intake but the best on the market. Mostly due to its porting capability.

If I had the money I would go with the Fast 92. It allows for more airflow. With just a Cam though you could probably get away with just the LS6 intake on account they are good to like 500hp. So at the moment if it was me I would get the LS6 intake and then put the money towards something else and then if you ever get different heads and a bigger Cam and such you could sell the LS6 since there is always a demand for them. If you have the money though it wouldn't hurt to get the 92mm. If I could afford it im sure I would.
