Wait till h/c install you will see the most gains and it wouldn't make sense to install the intake first... Since you have it all just wait and get it all done at once and get it tuned.. then she will be sweet.

I agree with Adam, wait til you put your heads and cam in. Get it tuned once, after it's all in.
Specs on heads and cam? Supporting mods?

Yes I would argree. But it looks so easy to put on., Comparied to the heads. Cam doesn't look to bad. But I know I will need a tune. I want to do it all at my own time , But I just got laid off. I was thinking I could do the fast and get my 20HP? (Mamo) ported.( was not cheap)

You won't see 20 hp on a stock head/cam car.

x2 that would be considered a supporting mod that will go nicely with heads+cam. Any specs?

You can expect 20+ or more rwhp on a heads/cam car. But on a bolt-on only I'd say maybe 10 or less rwhp over a LS6 intake.

^^^^

He is right, if you went from an LS1 intake to a fast then maybe you would see 15-20 rwhp, but going from a LS6 to fast only a couple hp more... now when you install the h/c/i all at one it will be like night and day... lol mostly from h/c but the intake will help you get more out of that setup. And I think I took too long explaining this but hey I guess whn you have A.D.D it happens.
