The runners look just like the FAST 102 runners. But the gasket looks like they are made better are has a better coverage surface intake to head.

We'll see I guess. They don't say NOT to run boost lol...which is a good thing possibly. For what it's worth, a blew my FAST apart under a nitrous explosion....hasn't seemed to flinch with the boost we've pumped through it. We'll see what happens at the half mile though soon lol.

About time another option came out... Hope it performs well for less cost which should also drive the FAST cost down. FAST must make a killing on those things.

Edit saw MSRP was around 1G... hmmm

word.

Never been a "my spark disappeared" fan but...so I'm with ya.

Too soon for any realworld FI but,...I DO like the idea that Lingenfelter is a 3rd party tester.....those guys usually don't BS a whole lot. Either way, very nice to see something NEW.....especially for our out of production C5/C6 cars. That is cool.

That top cover is one huge flat piece. I can't see it being happy under much boost.

what amazes me about the LS intakes is the torturous path the air must take to get into the intake horn

this is the same way.

so, for my hard earned buck, 1k for a few measily HP, no interested

a dual throttle body application with plenum volume at the END of the air horns, with a nice turn would not only make more hp, it wouldn't be as hard to make

I looked at the OBX individual throttle body intake, only costs a couple hundred more bucks than this one!!!

fab up some nice big plenums at each end of the cross ram with even a stock throttle body and it would flow a ton and make even more torq

a big U shape plenum (like Nelson racing did) would allow a single throttle body if desired.

I was excited at first, after running the numbers, not so much!!

I am not sure who they are comparing it to, but they say over 30 rwhp compared to aftermarket intake. http://www.atomicefi.com/AtomicAirForce.aspx

All speculation until real world testing happens. Tough to say anything until then,...for me anyways.

Saw this at SEMA. Find it extremely ugly. I forget the price on it (699.00 maybe) and my picture came out a bit blurry. Can't read the price.
