is the FAST intake worth it?
FAST 78mm - not worth it over an LS6
FAST 90mm - if you are on stock cubes and heads, then stick with the LS6...the only time you should consider a FAST90 on a stock cube motor is if you have ported heads.

The FAST 78mm works in the same manor and on the correct setup will out perform the Ls6.
Having said all that though the LS6 intake is very good and many people have produced very good numbers with it.
There was a large test of heads/intakes a couple of months back and the conclusion was that a budget set of heads with a FAST 90 would match or exceed the same cam using top of the line heads and a LS6 intake.
Typically in a cammed or h/c LS1 the FAST 90 should be making about 20rwhp more PEAK HP over the Ls6, although the under the curve performance will be pretty even upto around 5000rpm.

I would get a nick williams TB and get a ls2 manifold ported. It is not as good as the fast but better than the ls6. I have a guy down here that does it at a very reasonable cost.

yes you are right there were a couple comparisons and each time the ls6 performed better than the ls2. The ls2 aint worth **** unless ported.

ls2 still an improvement over the ls1 though if i remeber right ... i cant beleive the prices on these parts..... i can get an aluminum intake manifold for my 1st gen small block for 100$brand new , but i cant get the best Plastic?! one for under 800 seems like a whole stinky situation to me. i think it would of been cheaper to steal the engine out of my 84 , then to keep going with my ls1. performance vs =performance.

From what I've seen it will match and exceed a LS6 from tickover upto about 4500-5000rpm where it will produce significantly more. Never seen it loosing out at any rpm range. Plus a ported FAST works even better in the low rpms than a stock one.
I will admit, that to see the most of the FAST intake you do need to be looking at the 5000-7000rpm area, so a good cammed or h/c car with raised rpm limiters is the way to go. - IMO
Here is the comparison of all the intakes on the sam motor with a good size
