choosing a head and intake I have a 98 ls1. my short block will be finished up this week, just waiting on my bearings to get here. I'm running the stock crank, callies compstar h beam rods, diamond 3.905 flat top pistons, and a vrx5 cam. I was originally planning on running a set of trickflow 220 heads and a fast lsxr 102mm intake. this car will mainly be a street car with some track time. I still want it to have good low end power. I know with my cam selection its going to hurt a little on the lower end, but ive been hearing the head and intake combo is to big for a small cubic inch motor and it will kill the power down low, but I also have heard that this is a myth and you wont see any losses in the low end torque. does anyone have any personal experience with this? would I be better off with a ls6 top end maybe or something different? TIA

that eases my mind a lot. so would there be any difference in bottom end power if I went with the 92mm fast over the 102?
