I have the same cam that you gonna put in, The LS6 intake well work plenty good for your setup right now. The FAST 90/90 is only needed under extream heads and cam setups which needs a lot more air. I sold my LS6 to my friend and got a FAST 78 right now, but for a good deal. But honestly in your case LS6 well due just fine all the way up to 500 RWHP.

If you can find a good deal, go with the 78. When I got mine, most of the LS6's were going for $300+, and I got the FAST for $500. Definitely glad that I did

setup correctly both the FAST intakes have to potential to make more HP over the LS6, this is due to larger openings and better intake plunium design.

Whether you consider the HP/$ to be worth while is a different matter entirly.

Might be worth checking out the new Typhoon manifold from Professional Products.

How much money do you have? That $1100 or so for a FAST 90/90 setup could go a LONG way towards suspension/built trans/stall/gears.

For $1100 you could probably get a REALLY nice nitrous system going as well. If you're just looking for places to drop some cash, go for it, but you can do alot of good in other places.

For example: My car will not spin the tires in 1st gear on the street unless I rev it up and side step the clutch.

It doesn't impress the highschool kids any with the "OMG dOOdZ! That car will smoke the tires from 50mph!!!!!!!!111oneeleven" bullshit, but I put BUS LENGTHS on a boltons/150shot 05+ Mustang GT the other night............ from a dig....
