Maybe from a stock LS1 to a FAST. I don't think you will see that much going from a BBK to a FAST.

I agree a bbk is inbetween a ls6 and fast intake...look at some numbers going from a ls6 to fast and cut them in half...that would be my guess

I'd say 5-15rwhp. Went from LS6 setup to ported 92mm and gained 17rwhp from 4500-6500. Gained nothing from 0-3500rpm. It really shines on the top end. some have better results than other. Different on every combo. Good luck!

Just getting weight off the front of the car is a gain. LS6 is a fine factory piece that will do fine. Just do not have have it ported, leave it as is, maybe at best some plastic left over from when it was molded could be sanded out, thats it.

When I was going to go from my BBK to at FAST, most said put my money elsewhere. I did the numbers in my sig with it. I plan on this winter taking it off and trying to port it. Not sure if its possible but it will give me something to do this winter.
