Default Fast intake

I have a 2001 Z06 so far I have a cam 228/228 572 I 588 E a set of ported stage 2 LS6 Westcoast cylinder heads and long tubes and a Cold air intake. My question is how much would I benefit going to a fast intake and a LS2 TB? Is there any driveabity problems? I use the car every day.

I have the cam listed in my sig and stage 2 LS6 heads. I tried the Fast 90mm and LS2 TB setup, my gains were about 12rwhp and no gain at all in rwtq.

With a mild cam and stock 346ci motor the 90mm setup is overkill, I was told this be several tuners but tried anyway.....I'm back using the LS6 intake and a polished LS6 TB.

I run a 230-236 112 cam with a ported FAST/LS2 TB with great results. I think your cam is probably a little small to really take advantage of the intake.
