Default any real world comparison between a fast 92/92 and victor jr?

I currently have a fast 92 with nw 92tb. was wonding if there would be any gains in switching to a victor jr setup. Ive searched and read but there doesnt seem to be anyone saying personal experience or results. motor is a built 370 afrs, tick stage 3 turbo cam, s480 t6.

From what ive seen, on your current setup I don't think it would benefit

I recently ditched my Fast because it cracked on the under side of the intake. Waiting for my Vic Jr to arrive. I've heard a few people complain about loss of power down low so I'm getting mine ported.

Stick with what you have but if your Fast ever goes South I would go with a different material. The 2 piece polymer design weakens over time.

And all these band wagon FAST guys who swear it can hold boost.. Sucks to hear about it man I bet that was a costly situation.

I'd make the switch now while the intake is still good. Could probably sell the intake and buy a Vic jr with fuel rails and still have some left over to put towards and elbow

are the fasts really that prone to splitting apart? i plan on running about 17-18lbs of boost. If its really that high of a risk id rather not blow apart a perfectly good intake.

whats the best elbow that would clear the stock hood? Im not about cutting up my hood, i can live with trimming the cowl if needed but minimal

best elbow is the nitrous outlet boosted elbow fabbed to fit under our cowl.

Yep. Here's a pic of the manifold that was on redgoat420 GTO. Good luck.

Didn't know if you were speaking to me but I was lucky enough to catch it before it grenaded. I actually sold it to a friend dirt cheap. He's going to attempt to plastic weld it before he slaps it on his N/A motor lol.

At that boost level I wouldn't waste my time with a fast. You can also get an Aarons 6061 elbow. That's what I'm pairing my Vic Jr up with and they're a little nicer than the N20 Outlet elbows

I beg to differ.... The n2o outlet elbow is far superior as it actually fits without cutting, and is a more hefty badass piece, for fbodys... ive had both in hand and the nitrous outlet fits perfectly and looks more badass. but to each their own!
Don't get me wrong, Aarons piece is beautiful as well.

I was referring to all the people on here that I've argued with over the past few years about the FAST holding boost. People seem to think this "new" design is better. My advise is get rid of it as fast as you can.

Yes. They are not and never where designed to be used in a FI application.
