Default BBK Intake

I have a 01Z and was thinking about changing the stock ls6 intake with a BBK SSI intake. Anyone using this intake? Was it a good mod for ya?

Dunno how much it costs, but the FAST seems to perform the best. Especially when Tony Mamo gets his hands on it.

I wanted the FAST intake but at a grand I'm not sure it is worth it. I have a buddy that does the cylinder head porting on my racecar and he offered to do a set of ls heads for me. So I plan on the intake, heads and a cam upgrade. Then some headers and exhaust. Anyone know what kind of hp gains to expect?

It's been proven that the stock LS6 intake is much better than the BBK, which is heavy and based on the LS1 intake. Your only real upgrade would be a ported FAST92 (or a used 90), but that may not even be necessary until the 425+ rwhp level.

the new weiand street warrior intake is supposed to be better than the fast. i'm not sure if it's true or not but it is also supposed to be a lot cheaper. speedinc has them on their website
