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 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.
