No its not worth it at all, if anything spend half the money and do an LS6 intake. The fast doesn't make that much more power over it.

Incorrect,I run dynos for a living and I have done LS6 vs FAST LSX intake before. Depending on the setup the FAST intake make 17-25hp over the LS6.

This was on an LS1 though, with more cubes you should see more gains.

sorta but, perhaps you could shed some light on other mods for people that people get perplexed about (is it worth the money). for instance, pullies

you are saying 17-25 hp OVER the LS6...how much total? what's the cost difference between the two?

I don't want to argue with you, but i'd just like to say that i have seen dyno's that show gains like that as well, but they are few and far between. On a stock cubed motor more like 5-10hp is the norm, and with a 5000lb truck 10hp won't make much difference in acceleration.

Obviously on a 408 or a boosted motor even a small increase in flow could create quite a bit more power.
