$400 or so seems to be the going rate.

You're not likely to get a better deal from a shop than on-line, there likely to mark it up for their trouble. As mentioned I got mine from Lingenfelter for $750 which was by far the cheapest I could find & the gave a $50 gift cert. for next purchase. Check around if you can get it around that price it's a pretty good deal. Anyone else get one much cheaper?

Have you thought about just getting the stock intake ported? ALOT cheaper.

Call Charlie @ RPM 888-755-5391 or send him a PM. It's a bit of a drive from North SD Co., but it will be well worth it!

Thats a real deal Ed. Mikes car ( NIGHTSTALKER )rips and all the dyno gains are there. I know I had more than $1,300 into mine and I did the mods myself, sent it out for PORTING & PAINTING, Then installation and

Yes, My car does rip now. Ed (BAD427) at B&P Performance has to have the best prices in the northeast....hell, maybe in the country. For the customer service he provides....he can definately afford to charge more.......I'm not complaining though Ed

Will a mail-order tune work with the FAST? I installed LG Pro's and got a mail-order tune from Chuck COW: the performance increase was awesome! The FAST is next.

The cow mail order tune will get you some awsome power with the LGLT/ FAST combo. All kinds of great numbers being posted as of late.
One think I would like to note is if COW had it on the dyno and did a couple of pulls he would certainly get a little more out of it than his canned tune. Im sure he tuned this combo many times ,so you can expect some great numbers and save a couple of bucks.

Thanks, and with the Chuck COW tune, re-tunes are free!

I'm thinking Vengeance Racing for the FAST. The remaining question for me, and for a lot of other forum members, is going with the FAST 90mm or FAST 92mm. Any thoughts?

Everyone will be going with the 92mm soon because the 90mm is being discontinued. They won't even be made anymore.

Cost is obviously an issue so I would keep looking on the parts section or just put up a post for what your looking for. You'll save a couple hunderd $ and that will pad the overall cost some obviously. I'm cheap and have gone that route with my Corsas and Killer bee. The new part will be used as soon as you put it on your car anyway. my $.02

I'd go with a new FAST if I were you. You never know if someone else torqued it down too tight and cracked something that isn't obvious. Also make sure if someone modified it they did it in a logical manner that doesn't look like they smeared elmers glue all over it. Something to think about.
