what intake is worth it i am doing a h/c on my 01 t/a and was thinking of upgrading intake. fast is way overpriced and i hear you have to hack it to get it in. waht intake would you guys rec for resonable price thats worth it. my car came with the ls6 intake. should i just upgrade my inj and put it back on.
i used to be of the same thought about the fast intakes being overpriced pieces of plastic. i can tell you first hand it is well worth the investment if your looking to make power. switching from an ls6 to a fast 92 got me 30rwhp on my setup. if you don't want to mess with the 102 fitment look for a used 90/92
They are marginally better than the ls6 intake, so if you want to sell your intake and spend an extra $50-100 on ~5hp they might be worth it.
They are a better upgrade for people who have a ls1 intake who would have to buy the ls6 anyway.
For those with the ls6, the only bang for buck upgrade is to get a used Fast 90-92mm. Otherwise look for power elsewhere.

If you don't want to spend the money for a FAST I would just keep the LS6 intake. IMO there is nothing else out there worth spending money on outside of the FAST stuff. Everything else puts up almost the same numbers as an LS6.

The BBK is fine, but minimal gains over the LS6 when comparing stock for stock. PP intake is a waste of time, IMO. I'd go LS1 intake to a BBK, but not LS6 to BBK. Unless there are good reasons for it.
The FAST intakes are worth it, but just look around for some used ones before buying one brand new. -I got a deal on mine brand new, so I'm not married to it. But it always figures, the deals are always out there when you don't have the money. Right when you have the money for it, the deals are nonexistent.
If anything, you can sen your LS6 intake out to Mamo to have him work some magic on it, but that would be around the cost of the intake itself. Wondering if it'd be worth it, unless you get a KILLER deal on an 80mm TB to go with it.

I saw a used fast 92 on ebay for 1200 and it actually sold very quick. Just crazy, I could never spend that much on an intake. Never mind a used one.
thats understandable, but as stated before, if your going from an ls1 intake and have to buy an intake and cant dish out the cash for a fast...go with a pp or a weiand aluminum intake, they're not much more, but a little better than the ls6 intake, not to mention you can do a bigger tb on the intake.
