????FAST intake 90mm or 78mm????
I have a 98 LS1 that I am trying to get up to speed with these darn Mustangs (is it safe to say that "M" word in this forum?). My car is mostly stock except helltch stinger and soon to have LG headers. I am looking for either a 90 or 78 intake and throttle body. What is the difference and what is recommended for my application?

20 to 25 on the 346 depending on what else you have and this is above the ls6 intake, I got at least 35rwhp on my stroker--the NW TB is the way to go the TPIS is virtually untuneabale depending on where you live as there are a few of our tuners who can do it but the NW is much easier to tune. Tuning it for power is not a problem its getting the damn things to maintain an idle etc thats the prob. The ls2 motor is a 364ci which of course is only 18inches bigger and they come with a 90mm.

Thanks for the great ideas, but I really like the look of the FAST. As well as the porformance aspect. I just cant decide 90 or 78. But from all these opinions I think I am going with the 78mm. Thank s for the Help guys!!
