FAST Intake low-profile screws?
I bought my FAST 90 used and while it came with all of the gaskets, it did not come with the hardware, specifically the low-profile screws.
Does anyone know the thread size and pitch of the screws? I wanted to just pick-up a set from Lowes or something.
Thanks,

They are button head. From memory, 8mmX1.25, don't remember length. FAST has the installation kit on pdf on their web site, the fastener list is at the bottom.
Stock intake bolts work fine (the ones that hold the intake to the heads, not the valley cover bolts), I never used the supplied intake bolts. You must use button head bolts on the valley cover to prevent damage to the intake.

Thanks guys!
Vettenuts, I found the pdf file just like you said. I had searched their site prior to posting here, but had not stumbled upon this little gem!!
Here is the direct link for everyone else:

Rather than buying home improvement center fasteners, you might do better by using the correct fasteners from F.A.S.T. or a supplier like McMASTER-CARR. Quality shouldn't be questionable for automotive use.

Stock bolts that secure intake to heads, not the valley cover. Valley covers I used the supplied FAST bolts. Sorry for the confusion, I will modify my original post in case someone pulls this in the future.

After what happened to Roger (Arkay99) I decided not to use the FAST bolts and re-used my stock intake bolts (the ones that hold the intake to the heads). They fit perfect and I am not sure why FAST replaced them, especially since they rust like crazy and look like crap after a while.
