Default FAST Setup In My Situation?
Going w/ TEA 5.3' S1.5 Heads, 228/230/571/573 cam, 4200 stall, full bolt-ons. Here is the situation. I have a LS6 intake w/ ported tb, but am thinking of going 90 LSX w/ NW TB. I really don't drag/race the car, but I don't want to bottleneck the air flow on this setup in anyway though. What would you all do?

Go with the 90/90 set up, I gain 27rwhp & 13rwtq over my LS6 intake and ported TB with my FAST 90mm intake and TPIS 90mm TB with a 221/221-.559/.559 B1 cam and Absolute stage 2 heads. This was done on the same Mustang Dyno too.

That is pretty damned impressive! I'm glad to see that it was worth the money as they are pretty pricey. A FAST 90/90 is the most max-effort intake short of sheet metal, correct?

What do you think the 85 mm maf/85 mm lid would be worth?

Well I think it's almost a must to go with the 85mm maf & lid until someone comes out with a 90mm setup for the F-body unless you go with a maf-less tune but someone still need's to come up with a 90mm lid.

I thought I read somewhere where it was only something like a 5 rwhp gain according to TSP, could be wrong though.

5rwhp gain over what? thats not quite the norm. FAST 90 is good for 10-15hp easy every day of the week, sometimes alot more.
