Yes, but it was my understanding that the FAST would be the last mod to do, after heads. If this is inaccurate let me know, though I can imagine I still won't be able to justify the cost of a FAST...

If you plan on doing heads one day, then I believe that they would complement each other well. I was very happy with the FAST when I did my thread and would have installed it a lot sooner if I would have known how crappy the LS2 intake manifold is. The FAST is not cheap, but you may find one on the Parts / Sales forum section for a good price, just install and tune. As for which one I would pic first, I am not sure. Here a are two threads for you to check out - http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-t...ke-on-ls2.html & http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-t...for-a-ls2.html

A ported FAST is more performance under the curve than headers and its cheaper than headers.

Anyway, here is a proven package that drives stock and hits your power goals. This car made 462 to the wheels with a stock like idle. It had 4.10 gears which lowers the dyno reading about 10hp so its around 470rwhp without a FAST intake. There is a video showing the actual driving and idle results. I think it is about 2500 in parts.
