Just understand that it is tougher to get a fuel system on the car if you intend to make more than 10-11 psi.
If you have further questions PM me, I will be happy to help you. I can get you a kit, installation, etc.

No differences in the kit for the coupe or the Z06. The Z06 doesn't really change anything inside the engine bay that would affect pipe placement or routing. Now on the 07's.. that's a different story. The Z06 engine bay is quite a bit different than coupes.

I am frankly surprised to see how far a MAFd, OEM intake, OEM TB'd car can go so easily with the X kit... and it should be interesting to see the effects of removing those restrictions.

1-2 more psi but more importantly, I am doing a speed density tune with a MAF delete (so less restriction there) plus a FAST 90mm intake w/ LS2 throttle body.

A local TTiX owner found a crack in his Fast intake, and is currently in the process of swapping it out for a LS2.
I'd be very leary about running Fast intakes under high boost.
I'm going with a LS2 intake when my TTiX comes together.
Remember, under boost, the advantage of the extra flow of an Fast intake over a LS2 or 6 is minimal.

That's like saying there's no advantage to a 90mm TB.I never said that a MAF would only go to 799rwhp or 899rwhp or whatever. What I said was that it is a restriction. How much is that restriction worth when removed? 2rwhp? 5rwhp? 10rwhp? I don't know. But it has to be worth something, wouldn't you agree?

A well known tuner on this forum blew up a Fast LSx intake running about 15lbs of boost, and did 4G's damage to the front end when it caught fire.

Can you provide more detail on the explosion? Did the intake come apart altogether, or where the two shells meet? Was the intake ported? I know JBSBlownC5 has been running a FAST intake on his car under relatively high boost, haven't heard from him if it's been an issue? I will PM.Regarding the crack, do you know where it occurred? I do know that these intakes can crack if you do not properly replace the valley cover hardware to low profile hardware but other than that I have not heard of a damaged FAST intake. I am not saying it doesn't happen, I just have not heard of it. Would be interested to learn more about these.
FWIW my LS6 intake was damaged in the fuel rail bolt hole and that's why I started even considering an intake swap. I got a FAST 90mm for basically nothing, otherwise I really wouldn't have considered doing the swap to a FAST 90. LS2 was a possibility, BUT I did not want to figure out how to adapt my ECS rails to the LS2 intake, and the LS2 would have cost me more money.
If there's a real danger of these exploding, not just a couple of isolated incidents, I have no problem ditching the FAST.

Although I have not seen a failed FAST intake, I have heard from credible people that they can split. Some people 2 part epoxy as much as possible to keep them from splitting. The ones I heard of failing are on F-body with some serious boost (15+).
It's also my understanding that the FAST has a rupture disk like feature built into it in case of backfire (into intake). This should vent overpressure condition.
