Default Thinking about buying some induction parts... will these work?

I was just searching around LS1speed.com and I found something that I had heard of on here before, the nick williams 90mm tb, they have a package that pairs the nick williams tb and the fast intake, will that work good or is there a different route I can go. From what I have read in various places I have seen that with a new tb and intake you can see gains of up to like 30hp to the wheels. And also, is a MAF sensor something I need to look into as well. This will all be done this winter while the car sits, then she will be RE-tuned next spring to fix what the other doofus f*ed up lol

Do a search and you will find lots of good info. But yes to answer your question, that is a VERY good route to go and a lot of the guys on here choose that as there setup. If you have the money, there is no better way to go.

Depends on your other mods. If you have H/C then it is definitely worth it to purchase a 90/90 set-up.

I do not have H/C as of yet, should i just go with that first and not worry about the 90/90 yet? I will still see improvement without the heads and cam though right? I dont currently have enough money for heads AND cam, i've been looking at the SC1, i've heard good stuff about that cam and performing with blowers, the car currently has an ati procharger on i cannot believe i forgot to mention that lol

if you're looking for more power, slap a smaller pulley on your blower...there is no need to go beyond an LS6 intake and ported TB with forced induction unless you are looking to push over 700rwhp

with the blower i would think that more free flowing parts would be a good thing and i was under the impression that the 00 has an LS1 intake.... therefore i was going to buy the larger throttle body as well as the fast intake manifold and see what that did for me.

Read the Exhaust and Induction guide for a more firm grasp on mods that will work for your setup.
