Lq9 and Ls3 heads what intake? I'm starting a vortec/Ls budget build. And I need help choosing a intake. I done some research on the fast 102mm intake and it sound OK. My problem is the PRICE!!!! It's like 1400.00 for intake, throttle body, fuel rails, and injectors and that will only get me a 14 hp gain. Is that really worth it? Or is their a different alternative? I have a complete lq9 and ls3 heads. Also will the stock lq9 injectors, throttle body, fuel rails match the fast intake?

I'm doing a similar build as yours... LQ9 with a L92 heads for my 00 z28. Is hood clearence a issue with your car? I'm going with a LS3 intake off of eBay for roughly around 200 bucks which is way cheaper and it can accept a 90-92mm throttle body.

Here is a better way to spend that money and just run the ls3 intake etc. These heads are oem but modified to fit the older ls1, 2, ls6, 6.0 blocks etc

SDP has complete intakes with TB, rails, and injectors for good prices, x 10 on using a factory LS3 piece unless u wanna spend an extra 600 for a fast, they do look pretty..I had my factory intake cover painted to match my car
If you call around to Lingenfelter/LMR/Hennessey/RedlineMotorsports/SLP etc you can find complete LS3 intake/inj/rail/bolts for $300-350 as take offs from when they install superchargers. Normal market price is $400-450 for them which includes the 42lb/hr injectors so it actually is a great deal overall. ZR1 injectors fit inside as well (56lb/hr) and can be had for around $200 if you find a deal on those. Plenty floating around corvetteforum.com
LS3 intake vs. FAST offering there isn't really much gain and not worth the extra $. My buddy with a stock LS3 intake made 950rwhp on a forged LS3 and GTS76 single turbo and spins it to over 7500rpm. They work
