Well you know its not going to give you the same results as the Fast 90/90 so if you decide to get rid of it, you can give it to me instead of hanging it on the wall of your garage since i dont even have a ls6 intake. jk. I think it will be about the same as a ls6 intake maybe 5-10 more horse do to bigger TB but you prolly wont feel it. Awesome you are checking it out though. I bet it will make the underhood look nice for car show.

If it turns out no power increase and you upgrade, I'll buy it from you for whatever you want to sell it for, unless you're set on hanging it on the wall haha

I'll make an honest opinion of it and I'll get the shop to dyno it before and after it goes on to see if it does what it claims. I'm very curious to see how it performs.

Update.

Got the intake, fuel rail kit and regulator (since I have a 98). It looks really nice. My shop was pretty impressed with it. He's going to do some cleanup of the ports because there is some casting slag in a few areas. Nothing major and he said maybe 1/2 hour tops. Only thing that sucks though so far is I ordered the throttle body from byunspeed.com on 11/17 and after inquiring today about it I find out that they don't even have them. They said hopefully next week or end of month for sure. WTF. I'm a very patient person but if a company doesn't have an item they should at least tell you that they don't before you wait two weeks and wonder where the hell it is. I was going to get all my Christmas wish list items from them and was showing my wife how to buy stuff through them yesterday and I'm glad we didn't because who knows if they have that stuff in stock or if I'd get it by Christmas anyway. Bad experience and for me it only takes one time before I decide not to deal with them again. There are plenty of places to get stuff online. Don't know if anyone else has dealt with them but what a pain in the ***.

Sorry for the rant, it just ticked me off and it just happened so I'm still pissed about it.

I just cancelled my order. WTF. I bought it 11/17 and the price was $251. Obviously when I ordered it they didn't have it in stock. Well, they still don't have it in stock and the price is now $176. It went down almost $75 and they still don't have them. I had to tripple check the part number to make sure I was seeing what I was believing. Why would a company lower the price of an item they don't have in stock but not update the fact that its not in stock?? Makes me wonder if they stock anything or if they just put that they sell everything online and then order from the manufacturer when someone orders from them. Something isn't right, I'm not bashing, just stating my opinion and that I will never do business with them in the future. Now lets see how hard it is to get my money back from them.

Just go with a LS6 now. Screw the FAST 90/90 like people love recommending...it'd do you no good on a stock motor.

LS6 will be just fine.

Well I already have the intake and fuel regulator. All I am missing is the throttle body and if it's now selling for $176 I'll just track one down.

I found out from Professional Products that I have a local reseller here in Buffalo and he has one in stock. I'm going to pick it up tomorrow after work for $159 +tax. Guess it all worked out.

Forgot to update it .. to summarize the intake .. it's a piece of crap.

It doesn't seal to the block, some of the bolt holes didn't even lign up with the block. We ended up with three PP intakes on three different LS1's. Two of them on two engines and did lign up but wouldn't seal. The third the bolt holes didn't even lign up and it didn't seal. I've now got a hunk of aluminium that's I'm going to hang of my wall of parts that don't work in the shop.
