You will benefit from the intake, but I can't tell you how much you will gain. Possibly 15-20whp?

yes its def. worth it. gain around 20 hp. if you really want ALL you can get out of the mods and arnt worried about spending more money go with the fast 90mm. but if not the ls6 intake is imo the best choice.

All the known B.S. surrounding the FAST does not allow it to pass the budget minded HP/bang for the buck test in my book.

1) Many users with sealing issues

2) Extra cost of the fuel rails and larger TB

All this hassel for just a little more power than the LS6???
