LS6 would be my pick unless you plan on going all out on the motor, If you don't plan on building the motor the fast would be a waste of money because you really wouldn't see any improvement over the LS6 intake.

A LS6 will flow just fine. If you decide to do heads and cam later, thats when I would pick up a FAST
