Default Got my LSX 90 and FAST 90 MM TB

HOLY **** this TB HUUUUGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I could shove my Pomeranian's (fiances dog, not mine ) head in this thing!

I'll get some pics later but the TB is just HUGE. The TB also came in a complete black plastic with foam lined carrying case. I guess it's so massive it deserves it's own impressive show case so you can haul it around to show your friends, lol.

The TB fits very well on the intake and opens/closes fully like it should. I'm very impressed with the TB!

I am waiting on my coupler I ordered before I get to install the system on the car.

So far, very impressed with the TB! My TB is from the latest "revised" batch and it seems like it is very well done.

That's great news.
I hope the TB I ordered is the "revised" kind.

I'll get pics up later. I don't know this can't make a pretty substantial gain on a large cube setup. The increased availability to take in air just base on the TB size must be quite substantial.

Yeah...I, too, was blown away by how honking-huge the TB is!

I still haven't figured out the case, though. I mean, you buy it and bolt it on the car...why the fancy case? I guess this is their way to justify the huge price tag.

As for the "revised" version...what changes did they make and when did they start shipping the updated version?

We were having problems with the blade not being closed completely and bearing issues. Search. It seems that FAST took care of that now, but sucks for the guinea pig guys that helped them get things moving. I think FAST should pay for all shipping and rework their TBs, if not replace them. IMHO.

Cannibal, where did you get your bellow from? What MAF will you be running? Thanks.

This is probably a stupid question, but will you be running a bigger lid w/ it also? I would assume you would have to, but I am not sure. I have wondered it running the FAST 90 TB/Intake setup w/ the stock maf/regular lid would really cause a lose in the true power upgrade received by the intake. That is awesome that you got everything and the quality is great. Maybe you can convince me to get one

Hey man, every 427 that I have seen posted, a handful, that switched from a LS6 to a 90mm setup has gained 20-25rwhp. You will probably be very happy. I can't wait until I am at the point where you are lol.

Actually, my SLP bellows fit over the LSX 90MM TB so I can re-use it

I can sell you the one I ordered if you want
