I bought mine for $822 shipped to my door with all new gaskets, as Floyd mentioned, it is an easy swap! Don't forget you can sell the stock mani for $250 bringing the cost down to $550 (I subtracted the gaskets as they aren't a must just my preference)

I fought it for years due to the price but now I'm quite convinced. It's like adding headers to your car all over again.
I will note that it's a lot noisier than the stock intake. Mine really roars at 1800 rpm or so and you hear it behind the dashboard. It's much louder than the exhaust (I've got stock mufflers). I don't care so much but if you're picky about such things, take a ride in FAST equipped car first.

A Fast intake manifold, cold air intake with headers or a complete Z06 exhaust and tune is a great combination for any LS2

Sir, I have read in a few "LS2 Intake vs Fast Intake" threads that a stock "non ported" FAST is about 10 to 12 HP/TQ over a "radical ported" OEM stock LS2 intake. The main thing about the FAST is that you will gain through the entire power band, where as for the ported stock LS2 you will see gains up top only. Again this info came from threads that I have read here, I am not saying that it is the final answer to the equation.
Enjoy

My gains, on a reasonably big cammed car, stock heads, was oddly not so much under the curve.
But the track gains were undeniable. Around .2 and 2 mph consistently, usually more.
Here's my dyno sheet comparing FAST to ported ls2 intake. As you can see, it's mostly 4500 on. But you really feel it. (and hear it).

Joe_G: Nice youtube video. Maybe my gains under the curve are due to my heads or maybe you actually made decent gains with your ported stock intake. Either way it looks like you made some good gains.

Cory Harris. It was a solid 10+ rwhp across the board, he did a great job.
I still have it...I should sell it. It's a quality piece.
The FAST is noisy. Take a ride in a car with one. It's thin plastic and you hear a lot of valve noise particularly a roar at 1800 rpm or so.

I couldn't be happier with my FAST so I'm happy to support your thread.Do you got to the track?
How's your SOTP gains?
Do you notice the noise of the FAST?

No track runs as of yet. I may be a noob, what is SOTP? As for the noise from the FAST, I have not heard that much, due to other noises in the car and my exhaust.

Previously, you didn't want to go 102 for the slight gain over the 92?
