Default Fact or Fiction? Fast Intake and noise

I heard that fast intakes, because of the material that they are made of, increase valvetrain noise. I have only heard 2 engines with fast intakes on them. One had bad valvetrain noise and the other did not. Can't really go by that. Can anyone out shed some light on this!

i just installed my fast 90 setup yesterday.There was certainly an increase in engine noise.Its a different kind of sound.Sounds almost like you can hear the intake valves closing,like a resonating sound.It doesnt bother me though,as its not too loud still.I could also hear it sucking in air between wot shifts.sounds awesome.

You're serious? A sleeper Corvette? That's one of the dumbest things I've heard in a while. It's not like they made V6 Corvettes or anything...

Mine is a little more turbulent sounding, but then again my 244/248 cam might have something to do with that.

I've got a FAST 78 and haven't really noticed any increase in noise. But then again my exhaust would probably drown it out.

Okay this conversation is for the guys with actual experience in this matter. Not for the guy no one will race because they don't want to waste their time.
You must go around picking on ricers with boltons huh.

A sleeper would be anthing that sounds nowhere near as loud as it should for the amout of power that is making.

As it stands right now, my car sounds no different tat went I had my head and cam package. Only those with a trained ear can tell that it's stroked.

Do your self a favor leave your wallet at home.

Thanks for the input fellas. I'm debating the whole l92 or badazz ls6 heads thing (don't care about peak numbers). I'm just weighing al the pros and cons.

Thanks
