90MM FAST Intake or not...???
Should I or shouldn't I? I can't decide. My Z is going in for some AFR 205's and a mild cam in two weeks and I can't decide if I should spring for the FAST or not. Who's done it and who hasn't?? Wish you would have, happy you did, or glad you didn't?? I know it's only going to be worth 15rwhp or so... and it's a very subjective decision, but your opinions would be much appreciated! Anyone do H/C and later put on the FAST? MPG loss?

THANKSSounds like your question.
Also, since your intake is coming off the labor should be minimal. Suspect the "bang for buck" will be pretty good. How does it compare to headers?

THANKSI was tickled to death with the part throttle drivability and responsiveness. Sure, topend was stronger....but I don't stand on it that often. It was worth it for part throttle improvements.

I gained 26 rwhp adding the Fast 90 Intake along with the 90 mm TB, but what unleashed it on the dyno was removing the MAF with a speed density tune. If you every plan to use N20 buy the burst panel option (cheap insurance)

I was also considering the LSX/NW 90 this winter but backed off on it. At the time I couldn't find any definite data on the potential gains (h/c package W/ LTs and CAI).
Instead I went with a Callaway large bore billet TB and a high flow MTI Racing composite MAFS. I am expecting about 10 rwp and 14 rwt increase with this set-up, plan to dyno in a few weeks, feels stronger especially in the mid rpm range.
Since then I have seen several before/after dyno runs (figures) on the LSX 90 I now think I left at least 5-8 rwhp and 5-6 rwt on the table by not going with the fast 90.
If I was do to it agaim I would definetly go woth the Fast 90. Also, be aware that NW is no longer producing the 90 mm TP for the C5. You may want to contact them right away if you are interested in the NW90
Just my 02. Hope this helps.
