Default Is Ls6 possibly better than Fast 90/90

Ive heard from more than one person people seeing losses in power with the fast setups over ls6 intakes. I was wondering if this is possibly true?

I will admit though, most of the very high cam only numbers have the fast 90/90.

really depends on your application whether or not it's worth it.

the LS6 isnt BETTER than the 90/90 but for the gains on certain cars, the 800$+ price tag is far from a good deal for the slight power it has over the ls6

ls6 - for only bolt ons
90/90 - for h/c

Screw it. Run the stocker. It is all hype really.

I will also have to agree with Ryan. I got my FAST after Heads and Cam and it made a world of difference. I was probably standing to gain quite a bit with the LS6 anyway though, but with my cam choices I figured that I will need to take it up a notch.

While I believe a FAST 90-90 would add some power to my set up, I feel, for now, money is better spent on parts that will help put the power to the road: clutch, 12 bolt, tires, etc. YMMV

I would wait on buying the FAST setup. I have gotten word from a couple of vendors that some new companies will introduce some new composite manifolds within a few months.

If you swap to a Fast Intake you need to have it ported before you put it on. They typically don't pick up the big gains until they've been ported.

Then tell me how the fastest bolt-on LS1 on the country gained 2 mph after switching to a non-ported 90/90 from a LS6 and ported TB.

Not to mention that there are H/C cars with ported 90/90's that have gained 25+ rwhp.

if you believe that approximently $1000 is worth 2mph in the 1/4 that's fine...
but for a non h/c application the LS6 obviously is the smarter choice as a 90/90 may be "over doing it" (not saying you won't pick up any numbers)

the h/c application can utilize the 90/90 combo more effeciently as a LS6 would be considered a slight restriction... the ported 90/90 will net even more gains

But who buys the FAST 90/90 and intends to stick with the stock cam??

Nobody with an IQ above 20.

If you/anyone plans on a cam, just skip over getting the LS6 or FAST 78 and go straight for the 90. It won't cost any HP over a LS6 on a stock intenral LS1 but will be ready to make a serious gain after a cam.

i too have seen several people who are less than satisfied and are going back to LS6 intakes. IMO, LS6 is fine... untill you need a single plane carbed intake or a sheet metal. go big or go home
