Why would anyone want to sell one? I thought they were the best one to have.

Fast intake is an aftermarket piece around $800 + $ 450 90 MM TB

Its better to a point all engine its better , more cfm , forced induction like the Ls6 . fast has strength issues under higher psi . Dont know if anyones tried the burst panels maybe that would help .

There's no benefit going from an LS6 to a FAST 78mm but there is to a 90MM. Of course then you need the 90mm TB. So cost will be a factor in whether or not people use the LS6 over the FAST. If you plan on a nice H/C setup and maybe some N2O then look at a 90mm FAST intake instead if the money is there. The ls6 performs well too. Look in the used or check out Speed inc for a good price.

I wonder how the power would be with the 90mm modified LS6 manifold with the NW 90 mm throttle body?

I'll be selling my 78 mm FAST in a few months. (March / April) Make me an offer. Once I have my 90/90 combo I'll let it go for a fair price. PM me if you are interested and save my email addy for future contacts. March, or April 2007. Forged 402 cometh, maybe. 90/90 on the 346 for sure. Later
