Default Fast 102 and MSD Atomic Air Force Worth It?

I have a full exhaust headers back no cats and vararam on my 01 c5 dyno tuned as of now, stock heads/cam. Was curious will going to a fast 102 or msd atomic air force manifold get me gains over my ls6, and if so how much to the wheels realisitcally? If its a decent amount I dont care about the cost justifications. Just looking to squeeze everything I can outta this thing before I build my drivetrain.

From what I've seen, and I'm not directly experienced, throwing a big intake on a stock engine is going to lose horsepower. I wouldn't bother unless you're putting heads and cam on the car at the same time.

The old Fast 90 picked up between 10-15whp on an LS6 CTSV in a thread so old I can no longer find it. Gains were limited to 5000+, so really more of a way to have a better Dyno than really add useful power under the curve.

I run the fast 102lxsr ya it’s a mighty improvement over the stock manifold for sure also it’s a 3 piece intake manifold.......to make further use of it a 102 tb and maf should be added and also any lower induction such as a vara vrb2.....
