thanks for the advice guys,i had an opportunity to pick up a ls2 for dirt cheap but ill stick with my ls6..i dont really have the funds for a FAST at the moment =(

Since you already have headers, wait to do the FAST until you do a cam change...and you'll have a great combo.
i dont think a cam change is gonna be in the near future, i've never done a cam swap and i deffinently wouldn't want to tackle the mission for the first time with my vette by my self

You'd be able to sell the LS6 for a few hundred if you buy the FAST.

Slide on over to Speed, Inc and let them at least give you a quote. They're right next door to you in Schaumberg.

Next time I'm in the area I need to swing by there and browse a little. My kid lives in Streamwood and I come up for a visit occasionally. Been to Pilot Pete's at the airport for lunch and at the time didn't even realize it was right down the street.
Start a "mod jar" and contribute to it on a regular basis. Before you know it your in HC territory.
Agreed^. LS6 intake outperforms an LS2 intake. If you are looking to upgrade the intake then pick up a F.A.S.T. manifold.
Are u basing ur answer for a stock motor na ? I personally have an Ls2 on a sc 402 and would. Not put a LS6 intake on my car.u will defiinatley be bottlenecking with the stock tb.but for stock cubes leave ur ls6 intake on,the fast intake hAs wayyy to much corvette tax added to it
Another great and cheaper option is to send your LS6 intake to TPIS and have them install thier 90mm snout; and no worries about vacume leaks that the FAST is infamous for.

So you are saying if you add a supercharger then running the LS2/90mm would be better than leaving the LS6/78mm on it? I guess that makes sense. I'm still curious why the LS2 supposedly doesn't flow as well as the LS6. Did GM design the LS2 intake just so they could bolt on a 90mm TB?
Yes i was basing my post on a NA ls2. The same would hold true for forced induction(a less restrictive intake will make more power).
Here is a link to a test between an ls6 and ls2 intake. http://www.vetteweb.com/tech/vemp_06.../photo_13.html
