I am so pissed off !@^%#!@
I purchased a 95mm TB/92mm FAST intake combo. The package arrived last Thursday. I worked my regular job, then I work late Thursday nite getting the LS6 intake off of my engine. Then, tonite, I begin working on my car again, doing numerous things for the swap. Then I realize, I need 8 gaskets , one for each port on the FAST intake. Well, guess what! there are no gaskets. The intake was shipped to me w/o the gaskets.
Now this really agravates me because I was all set to go to a great cruise-in on Saturday evening. I am so upset that I could spit!!!! Now my car has to sit until somehow I can locate some gaskets.

Wow that sucks, all I can say is try and find somewhere local that has a set of Fel-Pros. I just checked Autozone and O'Reilly for your area and its a special order item, strange since Kragen/O'Reilly carries them in stock over here.
Are the ones on your LS6 bad? you might try swapping them over if they are still good.

Im not trying to reaggrivate you, just give you information....
FAST intakes have never come with a new set of gaskets. No one honestly owes you anything. Whats wrong with the ones you have?
They are cheap anyways if you must have "new" gaskets. Around $25 from FAST , I just looked up the part number #54009-8.

There isn't a big difference between the FAST gaskets and stock, almost none that I can see aside from color. They are supposed to be thicker but when I compared them they were virtually the same. You could re-use the LS6 gaskets or pick up a set of stock gaskets at an auto parts store.

It seems to me that that FAST gaskets should be a little bigger than stock. I still have my LS1 intake, as well as, the LS6 intake that I just removed. I will check if these gasket work in the FAST channel. I simply assumed that the intake should have its own gaskets. My LS6 intake came with its own gaskets.
EDIT: Apparently I am wrong, but I still feel that the FAST intake at about $900 should come complete, including all gaskets. If anyone needs info on this matter: I purchased Fel-Pro gaskets from AutoZone for about $30; part # MS-92438. Now that I am so late on this project, I am going to port match the intake to my Pat.Perf. heads. It appears that I need to take 1mm off of one side on the intake runners.

I have been using my OEM gaskets from 2000 on my Fast 90/90 for 3 years. When you buy a set of $2000 heads, do they send new head gaskets with it for free? When you buy new wheels do you get the lug nuts for free?

Yeah that is Fu(ked up man. I bought a Fast 92/92 setup and it didn't come with them either.
I ended up getting a set online for like $38.00 shipped and they ended up being the same gaskets (same part number) as the stock replacement gaskets for my ls1 intake. Thats Fu(ked up too. Hell they sold them at autozone for $10.00 by my house and so I paid $28 more and waited 2 days for nothing..... BS
