Default FAST LSX-R 102mm intake manifold Max Boost?

How much boost can the FAST intake manifold hold before it burst open?

Sell it and get your money before it blows up! I have personally seen two FAST 102mm intake blow the upper shell and runners.

Get a stock intake, vic jr, hi-ram , or a sheetmetal intake!

There was someone with a tt gto running 26 or 28 psi through one making 1300whp I think. Drove it weekly on the street.

Still going to with his new motor I think. He's switching from a 4 bolt motor to a lsx 6 bolt.

I'm planning on the sheet metal intake but if I can safely run 25 psi I kinda like to keep the Fast.

If you blow up one FAST 102 and buy another you could have just bough one sheetmetal intake.

I would be PISSED if I blew up a 102 and had to buy another intake, instead of selling the 102 and buy one I know isn't going to EXPLODE

25psi out of a fast shouldn't be a problem. Nitrous backfires on a fast now, that might be a problem.

In a month or so will be testing a 102 and over 25 psi.

25 psi is a lot of boost and no fast doesn't have a perfect track record holding boost. Do you have 800+ to throw away if it pops? If the awnser is no than sell it now

Risk over reward..
