Default Fast Intake

For a stock displacement, head/cam/nitrous car, is the fast intake and tb going to be worth while.

Yes, with that setup, the stock LS1 intake will certainly be a bottleneck.

He's got an '01, so he has an LS6 intake, not an LS1. But even so, I'd still say that the FAST LSX intake is worth it. If you can swing it, the 90mm + throttle body is the way to go... I'd venture a guess that even the 78mm with a stock ported TB would show some decent gains on a heads/cam car.

Ooops, I didnt see that. Well with heads/cam and LSX is still a good buy. Its a bit expensive but if you dont have anything else to buy then get it.

Yes, I gained 27rwhp over my LS6 intake and ported TB by going with the FAST 90mm intake and TPIS 90mm TB.

ok cool. I know most of the guys that have seen gains have had the bigger displacement. I quess once the heads/cam are done, I will start saving for the 90mm stuff.
