Default The Switch LS1 Intake to FAST...

I have a 2000 M6 TA with full bolt ons with the exception of a intake manifold, I do plan to go H/C down the road so I am leaning in the Fast direction anyone have a ball park estimate of what i will gain over the LS1 intake?

Most of the comparisons are always of the LS6 vs Fast never seen many of the crappy flowing LS1 intake manifolds.

On stock internals you will gain around 12-15rwh going from a ls1 to a fast 90-92 id say. You might not feel the difference but the gains will be worth it when you do h/c. Unless your going for over 450rwh the LS6 would work fine.

^ Yep... About the same with a 102 intake. Someone just posted results on a 102 with stock heads. ~18hp gain, IIRC.

Thanks mike,

I eventually plan on a procharger set up in the near future, will the Fast 90/92 or the 102s be good in the D1SC set up down the road? I am trying to upgrade parts that I will use later down the road, when I save enough to buy a nice shortblock.
