Nothing major, just a couple of new goodies I finally got around to installing. Some of you may remember the original thread from about 6 months ago Yah, terrible... I am just now getting around to getting this stuff actually on the car.
I still have the ECS fuel system, I just liked the look of the red anodize rails against the carbon fiber intake a little better so I decided to replumb a little bit. I'm not entirely happy with the area near the regulator, I will probably tuck the regulator away somewhere so all the plumbing does not look like as much of an eyesore.
We're still finishing up all the details but will be selling the ported FAST 90 w/ carbon fiber paint treatment, anodize fuel rails with associated hoses/fittings/connectors, and for those that need it an Aeromotive regulator as one package. The fuel rails are actually pretty nice and setup to plug and play with a stock fuel system including a machined AN to GM Quick Connect fitting. If you look carefully you can see a hose coming from the back of the car that just stops and has nothing plugged into it -- that's where the AN to quick connect fitting would go, but I just ended up not plumbing things that way on my car. When you do plumb things for an OEM car the OEM braided stainless hose is used and connects right there to the rails.

Thanks guys. I have decided I am going to hide the regulator somewhere, it really does mess up the cleanliness of the overall picture IMHO, although some people may like seeing all that "plumbing ****".
I just needed to get the plumbing done quickly as there is a dyno day for a local shop that buys from MPH and we are trying to get everything back together on the car, fully tuned with the new boost, and a few other goodies in support of that shop. It never hurts to have an 800+ beast on the dyno to bring the oglers in
I dropped my laptop, Tony that is one sweet cover and my Mod list just grew
Thanks guys... it's actually not a cover, it's a paint job with a nice automotive clearcoat on it.
As a one-time deal we were offering a GP on painting existing intakes for customers, but once that GP is over we are going to start selling ported FAST 90s with the carbon fiber paint job. We also have the rail kits in stock which are 100% bolt-on for 99+ C5s

What kind of extra power do you get from the ported FAST 90 combo over a stock LS6 manifold w/ halltech stinger ?

BTW, nice looking engine bay.
Thanks! With regard to your question, do you mean in an NA application or FI application? In FI there is not a huge difference.
I went this route because I wanted to eek out every last little bit of horsepower to clear 800 to the wheels without straining, and because I got a killer deal on the intake. A buddy of mine used it on his road race 346 setup for a while and then decided to build an L92, so the intake was a take-off which I sent out for painting.

I'm speaking NA for now. I removed and sold my Maggie in May of this year as part of my project. I'm still along way off from getting to the motor but I am trying to do some planning.
Thinking of doing a LS7 w/ AFR 225 heads and then runninng that for a year and then doing some kind of FI, most likely a turbo.
I presume that the FAST 90 will work on both my LS1 347 and LS7 427, but don't have much knowledge about the FAST.
