...I see your point JDM74, don't get me wrong, it just seems silly to me that so many of the N/A guys treat that Fast setup like a first, must-have mod rather than one of those last extreme things you do on a max-effort setup.
I forgot about the heads difference when I was typing that, FWIW, my car doesn't have a Fast set up on it. Just a lil' ol' LS6 and a home ported throttle body. I went with the nitrous set up instead for the price . I too decided that the Fast crap is too much money for too little gains. I guess the heads issue would go away too if you went with some CNC ported ones or aftermarkets....
