Default FAST 90/90 too much for my setup?

I've got the torquer 2 cam in my car with a 3500 stalled 4L60E and am looking to upgrade my LS6 intake and throttle to the FAST 90/90 setup but am wondering if that will be too much intake? i mean, will I make a huge gain, not notice it, or lose power? i'm just curious to know if there is a point where my cam won't react well to the huge amount of intake. i don't understand air flow too well but i'd imagine if the motor is getting more air in than it can push out that it wouldn't be able to use the air flow efficiently thus losing power? I've also got an x-pipe dumped with long tubes for good efficient exhaust flow, will the fast 90 be too much intake?

and i'm also planning to get it to last in the future when i get a bigger cam. i had also debated about saving for a turbo/fuel system setup, would the FAST 90/90 still be efficient for a turbo or would i be looking for something different for that scenario?

I think the 90/90 would be overkill. The ls6 with a ported TB is good for you.

I wouldnt waste the money on the fast.....save it for some heads

Most the really fast cam only guys I know use a FAST 90/90 with cams not much bigger than the V2.

well if you are planning on going bigger in the future and getting a good deal on the 90/90 then get it. You will gain power, but a set of heads will work good with the 90/90 and cam set up.
