worth the swap? 01 Z28, is it really worth the money to do the 90/90 LSX and Nick williams swap. and if so what kind of power gains might i have.............thanks
You could take that money and do a cam swap/tune if you install it yourself. You've already got the LS6 intake, so your gains would be less than stellar.
Not worth it untill you've got at LEAST a cam.

I wouldn't suggest a FAST 90 setup on stock cubes at all. An LS6 intake is about your best bang for the buck regadless of mods on stock displacement. Strokers, on the other hand, pretty much require it to show their potential.

its hit and miss with the 90/90 setups. if you have a big setup that really needs to breathe then ya, but an LS6 intake with a Shaner TB or any other ported TB is usually sufficient. Also if FAST would come off the damn prices and get their heads outta their asses it would be a hell of a lot better. For the price of the setup, you could get a set of heads.

Another + for porting your own TB and stick with the LS6 intake.
For the money you could do a nice cam setup and get much better gains, also get a stall it'll make more difference in SOTP and ET's than a 90/90 setup could ever hope to do.
