Default FAST PORTED to a FAST UNPORTED? ? ?

What is the approximate hp gains as porting the Fast 90/90 setup. i heard from a friend about 10/15 hp. Is that true or just a myth?

We have seen anywhere from 5-14rwhp increases when doing our portwork to a FAST 90mm manifold. Depends alot on head selection and maximum RPM being turned.

if you can spend $1200 on a FAST 90/90 to gain 20hp...why not spend another $250 for the porting and gain another 10-15hp?

78mm FAST intakes are a waist IMHO. if you're gonna blow the money, go 90mm. i ported mine for FREE, less the cost of sanding rolls. went from 393rwhp through factory 10-bolt to 417rwhp through a 9".

there's a few threads on here about how to port a FAST yourself. Our sponsors know a few tricks we don't i'm sure, and have flowbench access, BUT there are several places you can easily work one over yourself and get SOTP gains

The 78 MM FAST and 90 MM fast are only about 3~5 HP different according to research Tony has done so if you can pick up a 78 cheap I'd go for it. I did! :thumbs:

$250?? I paid approx $760 for my Fast, and was quoted around $350-$400 to port it.
