What Detoxx said. Sell it and go back to stock. Cons are fast like to leak and can cause issues. Pros are you don't have to decide where to spend the $600+ you get back.

I would sell the FAST and use the money for a meth kit. You can also use the money for the tune or if you want to save the money, good too!

I would keep the Fast if it's an LS2 car and below 15 psi. If it is an LS3 I'd run the stock intake.

An LS3 intake wouldnt do him much good if the car is an LS2. I didnt see where it was specified.

I do agree with an LS3 intake on an LS3 though, as stated above.

I run a ported stock LS3 intake on my own car.

This is why I didn't drop the money on a FAST. Glad I didn't.

I run 18psi through my Fast 102, zero issues here. It was pulled apart and resealed before installed though.
I think most people have problems with them live in places that freeze. I live in California, it doesnt freeze here.
Ls2 intake manifold flows less than an LS6 manifold which is why i went with the fast.

Forget money, fast exploding etc..

Will the car (LS7) make the same, more, or less hp/tq with fast vs stock with FI on back to back testing?

Depends if the fast is leaking. From what I saw, I made the same exact power on stock ls7 manifold. Blower limits the air, not the intake. Each combo could be different, but I think at best you may get a few ponies in the mid range with the fast, until it starts leaking, then one cylinder run lean, then the car explodes, then the stock manifold makes a lot more.

On 20lb cars we have had the inner ports break off on two separate vehicles. Tried running them without the inner ports just to see how it would do, but the loss of low end was big. As expected.
