Default So many FAST 90/90s in the classifieds...

why do I always see people selling these? Are they too much money for gain or what? I know it's kinda useless if you don't have h/c but I see them all the time for sale.

I dunno know, maybe it depend on their setup. Typically if somebody is going Forced Induction, you can't use a FAST 90 as it will blow to smitherines. Most of the FI crowd rock the LS6 intake. They just didn't plan on going FI until after they had a FAST.

You could always ask them why they are selling. I know of one guy that sold his in favor of a sheet metal intake, but he runs lots of nitrous and it's mostly a track car.

...One of these days I'll buy a FAST 90, maybe with a Holley TB

Ususally they are selling as said because they are going forced induction . Not all the times as they will blow but when dealing it that much power a few horses on ls1 , ls6 even some go to the victor jr . for low torque .
Another reason is te money tey are worth that can be put into te FI setup as you will need all that you can get . In my opinion a Fast 90 is good for all motor .

I too noticed that there are a good amount of them for sale. I never put one on because of costs. I guess you could call me a budget performance car guy.

I bought a ported FAST 90 for a really good deal and sold my unported one. I may go to a victor jr set up eventually, so my ported 90 could be up for sale some day. (Don't PM me asking me to sell it now, it's just a hypothetical situation)

i bought a Tony Mamo ported FAST 90/90 from a guy off here and then painted the top shell gloss black to match my car and did some additional porting. i picked up 35rwhp/10rwtq after install and retune. i gained as much rwhp with the 90/90 as i did w/my heads...

the 90/90 only cost me $100 more than what i paid for my heads...

Probably because you can survive 6 months off of what it costs to buy one. People must care more about living these days than driving fast.

Why did you do additional porting to something that already had the masters touch?

+1, they're WAY too ****** expensive! I enjoy modding my car as a hobby too but shelling out $1200+ for an intake and TB is kinda out of the question. I know lots more people take it much more serious than I do. I love seeing them at the track and at shows.

cause i had it apart...

when i took off the top shell to paint it, i looked around the middle and bottom shell as one unit and tohught i felt some areas that could use some additional smoothing...

i needed something to do while the intake dried...

here's the write up i did...
https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearance-detailing/761478-porting-prepping-painting-fast-90-intake-write-up-tons-pics.html

i have been in touch with Tony Mamo, and he's very pleased w/my results. the only reason i didnt gain that much rwtq is the fact im running just a little Comp224. i have a TSP 231/237 i plan to put in, but thats after i max out the 224 for a little more bump in rwtq...

Nice write-up.

You should sell that 231/237 and have a custom grind made. I bet you could get more out of it that way for sure. Check with Patrick G if you want solid torque performance on top of some additional horsepower.

Your car looks real clean too!

Thanks. everything in my life can be a mess but the SS has to be clean!!!

Actually more RWTQ is what I'm looking for. I thought for sure i would have been over 400rwtq with the FAST 90/90 from my Ls6 intake...

If you wanted to check out my other thread and comment in there, please feel free to do so, so we arent hi-jackin this thread. Thanks again for the compliments on my car. I have that 224 screaming at the moment...
