Intake manifold.

Any recommendations? I'm looking at either an LS6, weiand, or FAST. What kinda input for sizes would you guys recommend? I plan on doing H/C in the not too distant future afterwards, but I'm looking for something that can complement with and without the heads and cam so I can keep for when I do the heads and cam. Or would you just recommend saving up for all 3 at once? And if so, what should go along with it? New TB, MAF, etc? It will still be my DD so I'm tryin to keep it streetable.

unless your going to stroke it or go for some serious build i would keep with the simple proven ls6. that should support over 400+ whp and not require you to spend a ton on a tb and other ****. i would leave your maf alone they are fine for more hp than you need, and aftermarket ones are tough to tune. the fast is a nice option but you wouldnt see any gains until you did you h/c.

Thanks for the advice. I've read a bit about the LS6 and that's what I was originally leaning toward. Thanks again guys.
