Default Which combo would you use?

TFS245+FAST102 vs MAST245 + COPO intake (Holley I believe).

Pretty soon I will find out the diff, as a friend of mine with similar car uses same tuner and builder. I am going to overlay the dyno data. I already know his car runs 9s on motor w/mast combo. I kind of wish I had went that route, but going to test out the TFS combo. We both have 13:1 wiseco pistons and a 416. He has an auto, I run 6 spd. His car comp cams solid, mine cam motion solid. Both 02 z06s.

Its going to be interesting to see the differences in the combos relatively speaking w/regard to power output and then track times.

I'm thinking he has what the auto needs and you have what the stick needs for streetability.
The heads and inches are a wash so the fast intake maybe makes more average torque throughout the power band which will aid part throttle tip in with the solid like clutch set up.
His intake most likely makes more power between the torque peak and horsepower peak which helps the slush coupler (converter) recover on shifts.
I see both cars running nines on nuts but his may sixty slightly better where yours should mile per hour better.
Converters multiply torque on launch but are less efficient through the eyes.

Im running TFS245 and they make great power .
Times in sig with 1600 rpm drop at shifts(converter needs some love still )
Would be well in the 8s at sea level
You have along ways to go before that head is maxed out
Good luck
