TPIS mod to my LS6 intake
Thanks for the input guys! After more research it appears the "main argument" behind this idea is that it's not so much that the LS6 runners are not very capable as it is the opening to the intake. It seems up to around 6300 rpm that this is comparable to a Fast intake (with the Fast having only a slight edge in the last few hundred rpm) and maybe even a tad better down lower. How true it is well...I'm just not sure lol.
I saw this thread and had to answer....Where did you see a FAST 90mm or 92mm make for power than a TPIS intake with a 90mm TB? And don't give me dyno Bull **** numbers. We drive on the street or the track. I never see guys say they knocked off 2 tenths or 3 tenths with the FAST. They only show dyno numbers. Who cares about dyno numbers. Not real drivers...only little boys that like to see a dyno number. I beat plenty off guys at Atco Raceway that had larger heads, larger cam, etc. And they came up to me asking how i beat them with a small cam, home ported 241's and a Vig. 3600. The LS6 has 11 inch runners, same as a FAST 92. About the same plenum volume. I agree the 92mm makes more power, but the FAST only makes about 15hp to 17 hp over a stock LS6. Adding a TPIS and TB will be close to matching a $950 FAST intake.
So thats over $900 for the intake, $300+ for porting, and a TB. But they can be found used to save some money. But thats over $1500 for an intake that mostly shows it power on a dyno, but that power for some reason doesn't show itself at the track or on a street race.
