Help with Decision on Intake & Throttle Body setup well i will be installing a TSP Torquer V2 cam ( 232/234 .595 .598 ) with Dual springs in a couple of weeks and decided i might as well add a intake and throttle body to it .What would be a good addition to compliment this setup .Would a 90mm intake and tb be to much or should i just go with a ls6 intake and throtle body .Opinions wanted thanks .

He's stock cubes and were talking about double or more for marginable gains for going the lsx intake route. IMO I would go with the ls6 intake and just port the tb, it's good for 500rwph. Unless your going to spray it won't choke the system. While the intake is out it would be convenient to go get some ls7 or better lifters. Are you going to upgrade the pushrods, double timing chain? A higher lift, aggressive ramp cam puts more stress on these.
IMO you don't need it. It will perform just fine with ls6 intake and stock ported tb. Sure you would gain a few ponies going with the 90/90 setup, but the price to performance ratio is not worth it, at this power level.

Depends how much money you have laying around. Do you need it? No, but it would gain you some additional hp. and later on down the road if you do heads it would help there too. it is pricey though

well i would also like to add some bling to the motor i know everyone says heat soak but i love the look of a polished intake. are they any good polished intakes better than my stock ls1 intake out their
A NW and Mamo ported FAST will get you about 20 - 25 hp all the way up the RPM curve, cost is something you need to decide but if you compare it to heads it is about the same cost/hp.

personally I ordered the fast from Ron at vengeance and will be selling my ls6 intake.Sure I could have left the ls6 or maybe put in abigger cam(Tr224) for more peak hp,but I like the low end it puts out.I figured I was putting heads on (Tsp stage 2.5 5.3l) and wanted a little more N/A before I add the juice this spring.Who knows maybe i will upgrade the cam to a 233/239 and wanted too,but Tsp never returned my pm on time before my car whaent to the shop.Bottom line is Hp cost money after a certain level the more you make the more $$$ it will cost,When I add the juice Im gonna need a new rear even though Im an A4 with heads cam fast and 100 shot there is no way around it
forgot to mention that the fast I ordered is ported

I was simply pointing out that IMO it's not worth the $1200+ for a 90/90 setup with simply a cam, not even heads. That's crazy, but to each his own.
