I would say it should be enough to push you over 500.

I say......keep your money, or put it into some lower gears. I don't think you will go much over what you have with your ported stock intake. It will help a little under the curve......$1500 worth....I wouldn't think so, but it depends on what you want.
You seem to have more than you can get to the ground, now. Gears or sticky tires will get better results.
The Fast does look good setting on top of the motor, tho.

You already have a beast. Depends how bad you want that magical 500rwhp number

Those last HP are expensive, theres no way around it.

Better headers? Like ARH 2'' or LG could get you there IMO. Cutout?

Well I bit the bullet I spoke numerous people locally and they all said it will improve a lot more with the ported fast 102 and 42lb injectors. My current DC is 99 at WOT. So I am assuming my tuner can make the magic happen once I get all the parts in. So now I need to figure out what injectors to get. I heard FIC are the easiest and cheap in $$$.

My guess is if you already have a ported intake mainfold you'll pick up maybe 15 with the FAST. It may or may not be money well invested.

well Guys I got it installed (fast 102 ported) and tuned today and I was skeptical at first that it wouldn't make much of a difference over the stock peaks radical ported oem intake, also 46lb injectors where installed . The results are I picked up 21 rwhp and 9 rwtq. pretty much from 3k rpm on out to 6.5 rpm. The mid range rpm feels totally different and the car seems to run smoother and cleaner, why I don't no but it just feels totally different no bucking @ at 1300 rpms in 6th gear now also. I am a firm believer now the fast should of been done from the get go. I think it was worth the investment.
