Check out this thread (if you haven't already)...They got your hook up, I promise...You are making phone calls..doing your research like you should, anyone about to drop 2-3K needs to be well informed. I would at the very least, give them a call to discuss your needs/wants/goals...it would be well worth your time.

But you don't think there is power to be had with a better intake?

no i agree with you a fast 102 set up will put me easy into the 535 hp and over 500 trq i just did not have the money at the time to spend on the intake

Point taken. LS6 doens't flow enough for a 418.

Not the point. It doesn't flow enough period.

A 418 with a ported stock LS3/L76 intake is close to a FAST on power numbers. An LS7 intake is close to a FAST intake on power numbers. An LS6 even ported is no where near a FAST intake.
