Default Fast intake

I have a h/c setup and am looking for a few more h.p. Is this intake worth the investment and how much h.p. does it truly make?

I just completed a H/C install, and I have a ported FAST90, with LS2 TB to be installed yet. I didn't put on the manifold when I installed the H/C because my tuner is a 3 hour drive away, and I kinda wanted to get a dyno run in first to actually see the difference a FAST would make. Long story short, sometime next week I'm planning on doing the initial dyno run here in town, and then within the next couple of weeks getting the full dyno tune/FAST/injectors installed. I 'll post all the results, but of course there's variables, such as it really needs to be tuned right now. It runs strong, but won't idle.

You'll need a retune to see any gains. Depending on your H&C combo, you can see 0 RWHP to 20 RWHP. I saw 13rwhp and 20lb/ft torque.

I would say on average most people show a 10 hp 10 tq gain from the intake. There are some that get less and a few that get as high as 20 rwhp gains with a good port job.

I'm also getting ready in about three weeks to put on a FAST 90 & LS2 TB both ported by Tony Mamo. He's saying I should see a solid 20-25 hp gain with great drivability....

Stay tuned ( no pun )
