Which Intake?
I have a stock 98 6spd, I plan on installing a Vararam and Powerduct next week, which intake manifold is the best bang for the buck?
My only other future upgrades are LT headers and a tune, which I plan on doing next summer.
Thanks for any help.

LS6. is what I went with along with a ported throttle body.
I could tell a difference on the higher ends of the RPM/MPH scale than the lower end.
I followed that up with LT headers, delete cats, and Borla cat back and I could tell a huge difference as soon as I stepped on it just a tad in the lot when they told me to get on it so they could hear what it sounded like after their work doing it.
Lets just say as soon as I stepped on it in their private laarge back lot I had a huge smile on my face.

To me the price is not worth it. And I am gonna be running my Trex cam from Thunder Racing in my Z06 and they (the owner) told me that the FAST is pointless he said the LS6 intake will do the job fine. For $300.00 vs $800.00 ill stick with my LS6 until I go FI! And with the money I saved by not getting a FAST intake I now have my Wet Shot!
