The 102 is going to gain you maybe 5 hp over the 92, and you are looking maybe a 15-20 hp gain over the LS6 on a setup like yours

Yes over the LS6 intake. If 15 hp is worth it to you, then you got your answer

whoever told you that was wrong. the fast 92 is worth 15 over the LS6 un-ported, ported will net another 7-12hp. the 102 is worth 5hp over the 92...possibly even more on a bigger cube ls motor. imo it is very worth it if you are chasing every last bit of horsepower for a naturally aspirated motor.

Being that you are trying to make up 50rwhp hp, go with the 102 hands down. You may even consider porting it to help squeeze out all that you can. It's not much more than the 92 being that you have to buy rails but it's worth the extra cost with your goals

Go with the 92. It bolts on with zero modifications, NOT like the 102.

For where you are & want to end up, yes on a FAST over the LS6. Normally, I would say not, but your engine operates in an area where the FAST can make it worthwhile.

...or just spend around the same money (+ a lot more time) & bolt your stuff up to an LS2 short block.
