Default FAST intake ?

I have a stock 04 automatic.
Would the FAST intake make my stock car perform better ?
Im going to add a full exhaust and a Vararam intake.

I would do LT Headers first, before spending money on a FAST. Just my 2 cents

You might pick up some power over say 5000rpms with the fast, but honestly for the cost involved unless you have headers and a cam already i woudnt bother. You wont see the true potential of that intake without some other mods to help the motor breathe.

It should not be on your radar given your current power or immediate plans.

Definetly not necessary unless you plan bigger and better things, LT's, H/C, etc that is when you take advantage of the added air flow.

Nope, need heads and cam first. LS6 Intake is already more than enough for a stock motor
