Default FAST 90/90 vs. ls6 & ported TB

I have a cam only car (f13) with a ls6 intake and a shaner S3 TB..would it be worth the money to move up to the FAST 90/90? or at my level should I keep what I have?

thanks,

Keep what you have unless you are getting bigger heads.

if you plan heads later on yes,if not stick with what you got.i would probably get heads before i got the 90/90 if you are planning on future mods.

It will be seen by most as overkill, but if you are planning heads or the future "stroke" mod then I would do it.

I agree, you need to figure out what direction your are going in and look into the crystal ball.. Heads and Cam i would recomend going in the direction of the 90/90, just cam stick with the LS6 setup..

The prices have dropped alot on the 90mm intakes and the TB's..

Im trying to be positive..here is how i looked at it

I sold my ls6 intake for 400.00 90mm was 750.00
i sold my Ported TB for 180.00 90mm was 400.00

550 dollars out of pocket for the setup..in my case heads/cam and 6.0, it was a good mod, but i agree its not for everyone..
