hp gains w/ FAST intake???
Ok so i have a 00 SS with: SLP Air Lid, Pacsetter LT headers, Pacsetter Off-Road Y-pipe, Loudmouth Catback, Shaner3 port and polished TB, ASP UD pulley, LS6 intake manifold, Smooth bellows, FM-13 Cam 113lsa, PRC Dual Valve Springs w/titanium retainers, Chromoloy Pushrods. The car dynod at 385 to the wheels at MTI. My question is what kind of hp gains would i be looking for by putting the FAST intake on.

TPIS intake
I've seen better gains from the modified LS6 intake from TPIS. They cut the stock opening off and epoxy a 90mm opening. They also recommend running a 90mm to get the most out of it. So it shows most of the gains from the Fast intake is from the 90mm opening and a 90mm TB. That's probably why the 78mm Fast doesn't show hardly any gains. Plus the TPIS intake cost less.
But i would think that on a 427 OR larger the Fast with it's 20% more runner volume would be the better choice. And also FI as well.

Yep thats why I did the TPIS rought. But if your using any kind of forced induction its better to go with a stronger intake.
I look at it this way you need a good air supply and be able to use it to get the most of of an intake. Hp #'s on a dyno are not going to show you what its going to do at the track but it does make you feal good to see a HP gain for your investment.
