I second the 90/90 set-up. Sure, it may be a little overkill in the beginning, but when the F14 'eventually' makes it's way inside the engine....
that's what I was screamin. You can't seriously say that if the FAST and the LS6 intake was the same price that someone would by the LS6 to be different. That is what paint is for.
If you have a FAST intake and have taken it apart you automatically know it will perform better just by looking at it. Yeah it might be overkill in some opinions, but have you ever heard that someone was getting too much air into the engine? Exhaust exiting air is a different story, but as far as intake I got the FAST because it is a proven performer. Yes it is almost 3 times as much as the LS6, but if you are looking at eeking all the power you can out of the engine it is a good choice. But the LS6 intake is worth it if you don't already have it, to answer the intial question.

You can buy the LS6 intake and install it now, and it will NOT BE BAD if you want to do a FAST intake later. I hope you realize that you will ALWAYS be able to get your money back out of an LS6 intake for 2 reasons.
1) they are usually always used when purchased and 2) there are new people signing onto this board EVERY DAY who want one (just like the guy who started this thread
, and this will not stop.I now have an f14 cam in my car and plan on doing heads later on. I also plan on having a fast 90/90 setup. And i KNOW that i can put my LS6 intake in the for sale section for 300 shipped and it will be sold in 10 minutes.

Hell, i even sold my stock LS1 intake and throttle body for 80$ to LS1_SS. He's always looking for them for some reason unknown to me
yes it will, and you can find the intake in the for sale section. They come up a few at a time almost on a daily basis. price is anywhere from 290-350 on here from my personal observance.
