FAST 92 with Boost?
Guys,
I recently bought a ported new FAST 92 intake and had it powder coated a glossy black. I am in the process of installing it, and I was warned yesterday, that it won't hold up to 10+ PSI of boost!
Has anyone every heard of this? I am afraid now to contineu with my project! I've already pulled my stock intake, and am getting it all cleaned up for the new one!

Oh my! I wish I learned this before I spent so much money on this project!
I was told I could take the intake apart, and use an RTV sealant on the internal gaskets, and it will hold better. Anyone every that this?

My friend Digivex on this forum has been running his FAST 78, which is an older and supposedly weaker design, at 18PSI of boost on his car for some time now, making 780something WHP... He ran a 10.5 @ 135 with the car back when it was "only" pushing 14 or so PSI and now he's shooting for 9s...
I think the FAST is about as likely to fail under boost as a stock manifold, and I'm interested in seeing if one can help my setup make more low end torque and gain a little bit up top.

Ok, everybody: I emailed FAST directly with this question:
"I just purchased a new FAST 92 intake. I want to install it on my 99
Corvette, with a ProCharger. How much boost will the FAST handle? I don't
want to blow it apart. "
... and this is their response:
"The FAST manifold is 30% stronger than a stock manifold. You should be good
up to about 50psi. Thanks for using our products!"

My ProCharger setup will only be pushing 10-12 PSI MAX. So, wiht the manufacturer's email, I will install it tonight as is, and if it blows, they will hear from me!

How did you powder coat a plastic manifold? Did you just paint it?
I have several customer cars using the fast manifolds, with 700-1100 hp power from nitrous to boost, up to 18-20 psi, we have not had one explode. You have to remember there are unfortunately some malefactor defects here and again, some sony tvs you open out of the box are bad, this happens.
If it was me I would not be too worried.
