I have a BBK and if I had to do it again id wait to get a FAST90 w/ som e 90mm TB. The quality of the BBK leaves alot to be desired, Iv heard that some FAST 90's have a problem with sticking. Ported TB do pick up some power but dont hold on to ur pants expecting a large gain.

For regular ls6 manifolds, the 90 mms ones don't fit, those are for FAST manifolds...for a ls6 intake you want a ported stocker, which will gain around 10 rwhp 10 rwtq. Definately worth it on all bolt-on and above setups. I second Shaner, he does great work.
