do a search, i think a few people actually lost power going from ls6 to ls2. fast is definitely the best, but a bit pricey

If that is true, FAST is out of their minds.

man, BBk is comming out with a new intake, its like the ls6 style, but it has a larger opening for their 85mm TB, so it should be worth some power over the weiand style, plus its cast in aluminmum so it can be ported as well.

I already ordered mine, it is supposed to ship the middle of april
thanks

Get in touch with your Vendor. The Nick Williams TB will do the trick.

If they ONLY put $500 large into R&D and tooling (which I don't know of course) they are going to recover that in a heartbeat. Thats peanuts. I work in a very related manner for an OE so my concept of tooling is different but I could built a hell of a business case around that for the finance guys if that was the tooling/R&D and I could even price each one at even 8-9 hundo. No brainer. It's gotta be trying to improve upon an almost perfect design that is holding more of the big guys back.
I certainly do not have 500 grand and I'm happy to see the parts made- I'm just saying !
