Default Is a FAST 92/92 necessary?

Mike Duke Stage 3 ported 317's
232/238 .595/.605 111 lsa

Current manifold is an LS6

Wondering if switching to a FAST 92 with NW 92 TB is worth the money or just stick with the LS6

Car is going to be a Nitrous car til winter than Procharged

People typically see the biggest gains when the car has nice heads and a cam, such as yourself. honestly if i were you I would get one, I have a FAST 92/92 and my car isn't even H/C yet!

Yea, Just debating if the $1000 expense wouldn't be better spent towards a 408 shortblock

That's a good deal, Did you see any significant gains?

If you are going to use forced induction later, I wouldn't bother unless you find a really good deal on a used one.

I'd try to find a used one, I'd save the money and put it toard your Nitro/forced induction.

20 rwhp increase with mine on the same dyno. I know with FI the FAST intakes don't make any difference, I've seen B2B dyno sheets on the vette forum. But since you already have H/C I don't know if it would be worth it or not with a procharger on top of that.

Thanks for the info guys..

Will probably just keep the LS6 since FI is in the near future
