The gain between the FAST intake and the LS6 is small but so is the price difference. I believe the article was in a recent Corvette Fever where they tested these intakes. The Fast gained 11 rwhp over the LS6. This isn't a huge change but as you mod your car 11 rwhp doesn't come this cheap.

I've seen little to no gain (from posts, not my own results) between FAST 78mm and LS6. The FAST 90mm and 90mmTB is fairly proven for 15 additional hp on most aggressive h/c setups. For your setup, which is mild, I would go with the LS6 - you will probably see 5-10hp.
