Right on guys... I just picked up a LS6 intake from a buddy for $175, thought I couldn't go wrong...Im planning to go with the TR 224/224 112lsa and AFR 205's So if i need more air down the road I'll switch to the FAST 90...
How's that sound?

I currently have the LS6/portedTB combo and it is definitely costing me above 6000rpm on my 383. I just hate to pony up the $1300 for the ported FAST 90 combo...

I'm in the same boat as well. I currently have a stock ls6 intake and stock throttle body and put down 425/400 with heads, TR224 and QTP long tubes. I go back and forth with spending the $100 to have the throttle body ported and polished to get 7-10hp or drop the $1100-1300 for a ported fast 90/90 combo and gain 25-30hp as well as 15-20 ft/lbs of torque.
I'm saving some pennies and maybe this fall I'll spring for the FAST 90/90 combo and be sitting at 450-460hp which should keep me happy for a few more years till I decide to upgrade to a bigger cube motor, which the intake would be a great up front investment for.

Also with picking your intake put whether or not you ported....
And how you like it...
Thanks

Weiand here; ported to 83mm. Want to go to 90mm. Kinda run out of material near the top of the intake. If we can get it to a machine shop, can probably be done. Runners are also port matched.
