Question Intake question..

I am going to install an MS3 cam in my car before next summer. I want a better intake than the LS6 i originally planned on getting cause with that big of a cam i was thinking it may be the limiting factor. So i was wanting to know what the next step up for an intake would be from an LS6 intake. And another question, if I did get an LS6 intake, would it be whats holding me back the most on the setup in my sig? I know the LS1 heads a pretty good and aftermarket ones cost too much for me to care about getting them so I won't be getting those...

I really know nothing about cam's but, I have 430 rwhp though a LS6 intake and ported tb. Also a friend of mine with cam only has 400 rwhp through a ls6
intake and ported tb. His name on here is Pontiac search for his sn name and look at all the crap he has done and I think it also tells you how big of a cam he has. Hope this helps ya man.

i think they make a 75 but I wasn't sure if that was worth the money or would another 75mm intake be a better value?

For one its not $2k, no matter what TB you use. Do you know how much the Weiand will cost or how much power it will make? Why would you use a stock TB on a intake that flows that good (supposedly)?

Oh and BTW, the 90mm Fast is being replaced by a 92mm it looks like.
