With the FAST intake, you CANNOT keep EGR. With the ls6 manifold you can ONLY if you have the one sold by SLP with the EGR mod done. They are $550 new, but I just got one on here for $350 shipped. got lucky

Really? This is an excerpt from the fast instructions:
4)For EGR use (1998-2002 Camaro/Firebird) you must open the hole in your new manifold. Use a large diameter drill and Dremel type tool to modify polymer (30mm hole). Be careful not to damage the upper diameter where the o-ring seals (fig.12).

You have to modify the Fast Intake to use your EGR.
You should base your Intake selection on your heads and cam selection. If your going with a "baby cam" a LS-6 Intake will serve you well and flow plenty. But if your going to drop 2.5K on a set of awesome heads along with the cam then a FAST 90 makes sense because your intake will be your bottleneck. Albeit a small one. I was going to use a ported LS-6 intake until the shop dropped it and cracked it. Then I got my FAST90 and went with a larger cam than originally planned. Though I do kinda regret the larger cam, can't just roll into it and go I have to downshift.
