Intake manifold and throttle body question....?
Im looking to upgrade.. but really dont know what direction to go in? Im looking for a little more than just a LS6 swap. Is F.A.S.T 90/90 worth it? Is BBK good? Any other brand you prefer? Any opinions? Any info id appreciate. thx

What mods do you have right now? You really dont need the FAST intake until you have swapped out the heads and cam. You can still do it but I dont think you will get the max power out of it until you do you a head/cam swap. Personally I would go with the FAST.

I was considering the LS6 swap for my 2000. Like you, am not doing a head/cam swap. Forum members tell me there will be only a 3-4 HP gain...not worth the $$$$
The stock intake will flow enough for your engine as it is.
I am leaning towards headers and /or 160 thermostat and tune
