I'll pay for the dyno time and post before and after graphs. I will even do it with open headers as well to get a good comparision. I most likely will be going exhaustless either way.
Yes, the FAST (ported especially) has shown us the best power in NA applications compared to anything else out there. We do use the LS2 for FI applications (ported of course).

Call & ask Tony Mamo at AFR about the FAST....he is a porting genius.

You get yours dynoed with the set-up & I will send a 90 or 95 for you to try & buy if happy, or return at no cost if not. (you will be happy)

Tony put my setup [NA] together and ported my heads, fast intake, and throttle body and I could not be happier. It runs really good with lots of power and low end torque. I would not hesitate to recommend him for whatever you want.

Yes, absolutely, but only if it fits of course LOL...does FAST even make an intake for the LS7 heads yet?

The ported intake will help your hp/tq. The ported throttle body, according to Jeremy, is Gm's most effective means of TM in the low and midrange. Its amzing how much different a stock vs ported throttle body looks. I can't say which mods helped my car the most, as I had him install the ported intake, TB, and custom tune at the same time.

Ya I am serious, I'll dyno then switch out the tb and dyno again same day. My stuff should arrive by tuesday. You have one in stock? I'll give you a CC # of mine to hold for ransom

I have a new traction control system going in next week, so now I can use all the power I can possibly get on the track. can't wait

What are the dyno gains on a ported LS3 Intake/TB versus stock? Thanks.
