Porting a FAST Is it really worth the extra $$$$ to port the FAST intake or should I save my money. I have some 1.5 TEA 5.3 heads that are milled to 58cc. I will be running N/A with no Power Adder at all.
What do you thinK?
Should I port THE FAST or just bolt it up?

Yes port it. with porting the intake correctly and the TB as well (TB alone was worth 15 hp on FAST's testing of the one I sent them) you can see gains of 25-35 hp.

I know the LS6 starts lacking around 270-280, I figured the unported fast would be good for around 300-315 cfm or so right?

Thanks, I was thinking the same thing. But I wanted to ask first. My heads might flow just over 300 cfm on the intake if I am lucky.

What do you think about porting the fast yeah or nay? Also do I have to take the heads off of the car etc. cause if that is the case I will not do it.

I would have it port matched to the heads. But they can do that with them on the car.

Like Brandon said.... you will gain even with heads that flow 280..... mainly due to the fact that the extra intake flow will help at lower valve lift points. I just dont see how it is as benificial on a setup that has 280-300 cfm peak vs one that does more? Since the intake is not a restriction until XXX cfm.
again we are talking HP:$ here...... how much are you talking about spending to have it ported?
