Default FAST LSXrt on a Fbod or C5?

I was wondering if anyone out there has installed the FAST 102 LSXrt intake in a car, especially a C5? This intake is made for trucks and race cars that dont have a problem with hood clearance. I know a car would need a cowl hood and a modded CAI but Im wondering if its been done. This intake has shorter and straighter runners yielding more power than the regular LSXr 102 intake. Would be a nice project and itll look crazy IMO.

I havent tested it personally but trust the insiders I know @ Comp that have, and we have spoken at great length about it in person at the various trade shows.

We refer to is as "The Hot-rod manifold" because if you have a hot rod that it will fit in it's the manifold of choice.

Obviously for primarily the F-Body, Y-Body, and GTO guys that frequent this board its not an option.

BTW....it IS butt-ugly.....and I would still run one if I could fit it under the hood of my Vette....LOL

Better overall design....straighter shot for more flow....longer runner for more torque....and a huge plenum for alot of air to grab on each intake stroke of all eight cylinders.

Go for it is my two cents....

Intresting thread but seems no one has really done it. Also even with a cowl hood I dont know if that monster will clear towards the front.

My boy did it on his 05 gto. He also has the stock hood. I think he said he had to modify how where the intake cone sat. I dont really remember. If i see him this weekend I will ask him and try to snap a few pics
