Gains from FAST on cam only car?
I was curious what people have gained from the LSX intake on a cam and bolt-one car. Stock heads...I'm trying to decide if I want to sell my LS6 and get one soon or wait for a while. I tried a search but I found too many random threads and it's a little late for me to keep trying.

i picked up 3 mph in the quarter.............. but i don't have a cam only car. point being... the fast intake is awesome and you should probably get it if your cam is BIG. if it's a more sedate cam then stick w/ the ls-6 intake.

If you plan to go BIGGER & BETTER then you might as well buy the intake now..
I just bought a FAST 90mm Intake and Nick Williams 90mm T/B to go along with my stock heads, TSP 233/239 R2 cam, and all of the bolt-ons.. I'm hoping for somewhere around 385rwhp with my stalled A4.. If it doesn't help alot at least I've already got the intake for later on when I throw some heads on it and build a bigger shortblock.

If you're not going to install it yourself ($$), and as long as you're putting on an LSX, you might as well port match it, that'll add another few hundred bucks. Add it all up, and you're at the cost of one of the reasonable LS6 head packages (but not AFR 205's and deluxe valvetrain parts), which would give you a heck of a lot more than 14 hp.
This might be short-term thinking if you're going to get it all eventually anyway... There's a lot of ways to skin a cat, it's just nice to get the big hp gains sooner, though...
