Default Fast intake worth it on a turbo setup?

Are the fast manifolds worth it for a Turbo setup?

thanks

On a big cubic inch motor it will. I've seen 60 HP on a 427ci at 12PSI. Not much improvement on a 346ci, if you're stock cubic inch, stay with an LS6.

Most people here are on the LS6s.

some of the fast people have broken the lower box of the fast as it seems they don't like a lot of boost. It is the only reason that is holding me back from getting one.

is this a consistent issue or more or a random-type of problem. I have a 90mm fast and looking to boost over 15psi, so if this is a problem, would it be in my best interest to invest in a single plan, besides the added flow figures they acheive on FL apps.?

I've heard of the Fast intakes breaking as well at higher boost levels. I'd go with the single plane. The Victor Jr that is set up for the injectors is a nice looking intake. The required elbow is a little over $200.00. Bob

I've seen the fast on several setups but have also heard of them breaking. Not sure but I think the vic jr with elbow will require some hood modifications or an aftermarket hood. Not sure though.
