I don't think it would help much at all, especially for the money. If I remember correctly, I think it was Andy w/A&A saying not to spend the money on it. But I'm not for sure it was him, but it was for sure one of the major forum vendors. I'm definitely going to spend my money else where

Yeah...I am tired of the butt ugly stock intake and TB. Now the FAST intake is not the the ost beautiful but I think it looks better than stock and the TB is awesome. I am also thinking about the NX 85 TB that is sweet also.

Isn't there an aluminum Ls1 manifold that can be ported and polished that would give a good appearance and maybe some more flow?
I think it was Weiand.

Jon....you are correct about HIN. But I have had many long conversations with the shows promoters and the head of NCCA. NCCA is the company that judges the shows. They said that there has been changes made to rules that should make it better. We will see. Honestly I am only going to get a stab at you know who's car again since he did not show at NOPI like he said. When is the Tampa NOPI show? Paint job is going to be very simular to what we talked about. I added some airbrushing also.
Roy...it is my understanding that the aluminum intakes are based off of the first LS1 intake...not the LS6 intake. Also there are some problems with heat soak. NX has a new aluminum intake that is supposed to be based off of the LS6. I am looking at that one also.
Jon...where are you living at now? You ever get a trailer for you car?
