The MSD raises torque peak to around 6000 rpm which is something the current FAST cannot match. Even if it's close in the low to mid range, the MSD will run away from the FAST on the big end!

I knew that the torque peak was going to have to shift upwards for the gains they were claiming to have made over "another intake" to be true. The runner lengths look to be very similar to current offerings, so I would assume that the cross section of the MSD is a good bit larger than the stock LS7 and Fast intakes. I would also assume that with the added cross section that the taper angle of the runner is also much greater than the stock intake and Fast intakes. Keeping the runner length similar to current offerings keeps the low speed torque production up, and the increase in taper angle and cross section allows for greater cylinder filling at high RPM.
Now that I see it, I can dig it. Looks like a great piece that we'll have to try out on a few engines we've got going here.

still waiting for ls1 results. as I keep saying its hard to compare the air requirements of a h/c ls7 to an ls1/6. i think the runner design will be worth some i just dont know if you'll see these huge gains on a setup like that. Im tuned in and time will tell

More air is more power... If the Fast shows gains on a stock motor, I don't know why the MSD wouldn't. Then again, I don't know ANYONE that uses a Fast on a stock motor to begin with. It's going to be at least a cammed car, if not heads as well.
If it gains more than a Fast on an LS7, and is cheaper... Just seems like a no brainer to me.
