Default F.A.S.T. v. SLP LS6 Intake Manifold?

What would be better for my application? I have long term goals for my car (402 Stroker, AFR Heads, 224/224 Cam 114 LSA, Possibly Supercharger also), but my short term goals are to have a quick daily driver. I have full exhaust (BBK 1 3/4 shorties, high flow cats and TSP Rumbler exhaust) and intake mods (BGRA, FRA, K&N filter, SLP lid, descreened MAF) and that is it for power mods. I want to get a new cam and valvetrain very soon, but am contemplating getting an intake manifold first. The reason is that everyone has said it will be a bottleneck because I don't have an LS6 manifold (it's a 99). I will probably need a TB soon as well, which would be NECESSARY if I got the F.A.S.T. manifold, so my question is this:

"What should be my next mod to my intake system?"

SLP makes an LS6 mainfold with EGR and AIR hookups, right? So should I go with this or with the F.A.S.T. for a lot more money? I am in a dilemma because I don't know what my next mod should be. Any suggestions?

FAST, definetly considering your long term goals you are trying to achieve.

Okay, so if I go with the FAST, do I get the 90mm now, because I will probably be a 346ci for quite some time. Will it be too big for a stock displacemnt motor? How about a 346 w/ AFR heads?

The fast 90 mm setup is a good improvent over LS6 on a moderate to aggresive 346 cu motor.

but will it be too much for a mild 346? i don't plan on stroking until after something breaks, which could be 3 or 4 years.

Agressive Cam only cars & or heads/cam cars is a good idea to go with the FAST 90/90 setup...

This is really a no brainer, I gained 27 rwhp & 13 rwtq with my 90mm FAST intake & 90 TPIS TB over my LS6 intake and ported TB. Dyno's were done on the same dyno which was a Mustang dyno. This is all on a stock 346 bottom end and stage 2 Absolute Speed heads and a mild B1 cam 221/221-.559/.559 with a 114 lsa.

this is the reason I decided to buy a 90mm setup for my little h/c car tr224 and tea 5.3L stg 1.5's to see that big of a gain on a 346 with a smaller cam setup like this one is just crazy
