totally agree but I can see spending around 500 for an ls6 and a ported TB when I know I wll have to get an LSX later down the road for a direct port set-up or when I do an engine swap.

yea, but the fast just doesn't give you the power up top, it increases the whole range of power, which is a good investment, have it ported to your heads, and make a lil more power. If you are staying N/A, its a must man.

It's all about the performance guys LSX are the top of the notch out there so if you're planning to get an aggressive H/C combo & stay all the way N/A the LSX definitely your ROUTE

You'll also need to drop $400 plus on a new throttle body, keep that in mind.

I think you would see more gains from spending that FAST money on a killer set of heads.

I also think having the better heads milled and running a smaller cam would net you more power than stuffing the t-rex in it and having to run stock compression.
