Clutch/Diff install with FAST Intake
Getting ready to install my FAST intake but also have a DTE Stage IV waiting for installation as well. Has anyone done a clutch or rear with a FAST installed, any issues lowering the rear end as required with this intake in place vs. the stock intake? Wondering if it hits the cowl quicker.

Bob...
I think every cowl is slightly different....the main reson some guys have MAP issues with the FAST and others (most) don't.
With that said and considering your swapping intakes anyway do the rear with no intake bolted to the motor....better safe than sorry. You will have enough items creaking and groaning when you drop the angle of the driveline....I wouldn't want you worried one of the creaks and groans is coming from a brand new expensive intake manifold!
Good luck,
Tony

Tony,
Only issue is that I can't dyno with the rear as it will not be broken in (brand new DTE Stage IV). Guess I better figure on removing the FAST for the rear installation unless someone has experience with this that tells me otherwise.
