u guys are getting happy for no reason.

:iagree: :iagree: :iagree:

if it was the new best thing on the market wouldnt they be comparing it to the Fast and not the LS6?

I think this intake is like the Apsis splash guards for the C5, never going to happen.

azZ06Mike 06-21-2008 07:54 PM

Agreed. Why not simply provide tests on a stock motor? Probably not much better than an LS6 manifold. I wonder what size the neck is? 84mm?

Legal reasons?

I'm not sure, but they word it as "vs the popular ls6 intake" leaving it open a bit.

:lurk:

Maybe, but put a FAST on a stocker and be prepared to be disappointed. That intake is meant to make the numbers on a highly modded motor. Doesn't mean a stocker won't get some improvement, but not like a cammed and bolt on motor would :thumbs:

I agree! Larger intake benefits from, Cam,heads,headers! More incoming air needs larger air exit!

Our C5 Splash Guards are on the way. We didn't fall asleep. Instead we did work very hard but you don't appreciate it.

Do you have back order?

The 30hp gain is not peak horsepower gains, but mid-range gains. You can see it on the dyno graph.

Please advise your last name so I will secure one set for you. I cannot connect your screen name with your real name. We may not have enough kits for our back order in the first batch but we will hold one for you for sure.

I got a bit excited when I saw this thread, It’s been so long I forgot I was the one who started it! :(

Pm sent.

ive also been holding off on the fast 90 waiting on this to come out.. be installed in teh real world.. and get some real numbers not the BS the dealers put out.

BUT with promises like this, hell its worth waiting a summer to find out.

Does anyone know if these are coming with enough meat to port/polish/etc the thing? IN the fast 90 they give great lines on how far to go.. plenty of meat, etc.... Will this one live up?

geocor2003 06-27-2008 11:39 PM

Anthing new on this?I think this is just what I need to put me at 500 BHP or so.I have a 2003 coupe, with the following mods: cam ,Kooks long tubes w/ X pipe,B/W w/ ice box,CNc'd Z06 heads,(milled to true 11:1 compression), with larger valves,Hooker catback,dyno tune,Ported TB,Yella Terra ultra lights, larger air bridge.I'm debating between this manifold & the Fast 92 w/ larger TB.I hope they can get this manifold in before the summers end!

BTW I got about 395 RW HP with this set up.So I think an extra 30 hp would get me close to or at 500 BHP, with the Street Warrior or the Fast 92,I think?

Juicdta 06-28-2008 02:46 AM

you should be over 400 rwhp already. most medium cams put down 410ish rwhp w/ stock heads. something is up and you need to get the car looked at.

I have a 03 Z06 cam,thats why I'm told I'm not above 400 hp?I wanted a styock like idle & the cam installer said thats what I'd get with the Z06 cam.

geocor2003 07-04-2008 01:48 PM
