the ls6 is alot cheaper given that a tb has to be bought for the FAST, also thier is not a whole lot of difference on stock or lightly modded cars. unless you have a wicked cam and good heads i would save my money or put it else where.

actually I have seen regular bolt on cars...with any cam other than stock...gain anywhere from 10 - 25 hp over the sa6 with lsx and TB to go with it( of course you have to adjust air/fuel a little too along with all th enew air coming in)


is it worth the $$$... well...beauty is in the eye of the beholder..... you have to decide for yourself if you want to spend that $$$ on that or something else

bingo

and you can search for my intake flow test, the fast 90 out flows the ls6 by a nice bit.
