A fast is gonna be better but the ls6 is gonna be a whole lot cheaper.

^thanks for that, although i have done research and just wanted peoples personal opinion to the subject being that they have tried these themselves and whatnot.

I'd say a solid 20rwhp with a 92/92. A good 5 more with a 102.

id go with a FAST though im sure youre going to get alot of different responses.

i say get the best and be done and also it maximizes your setup as you add power.

Well... if your not going over 450-500 hp an LS6 intake is good and cheap compared to Fast 92.

Well...plan on spending about $1,000 give or take for a 90 or 92 intake and TB. I've noticed prices going up on these lately. Then a 98mm lid and 90mm MAF ~$200 for both if you get a used MAF (not absolutely necessary but should be worth something). I'd look for one already ported to get the best gains.

I've talked with my tuner who deals with this all day long and with my 2.5 LS6 heads and 230's cam, 20rwhp is around what you'll gain. I'll be putting mine on over the winter months.

H/C is as far as I'm going with this car so I wanted to maximize what I've got.

If nothing else it'll look good!!

A few tests done a couple years ago on the Ls1 intakes, some food for thought

Good article but they had stock unported heads. I woudn't bother to change the intake either on stock heads. FAST intakes are only worth it on H/C cars, plus the ones they tested were not ported.
