Great numbers so far through that very heavy drivetrain. VERY similar to the results and setup I'm gonna be looking for.

Thanks man. That's what impressed us. The power through that drivetrain. I know it's good for at least a 20 hp loss.

Just made 480 uncapped. Exhaust ain't bad at all. I was expecting more.

So did it only gain an additional 2hp at peak by porting the FAST? Did you see gains anywhere below peak after porting?

That's correct. Seems like we only got 2 hp from the porting.
Now, the ports don't line up right, so we think there may be more there, if we can raise the manifold, or epoxy the floors and port match. But, overall, the manifold seems real good out of the box.
We went so far as to take it apart, clean up all the flashing, and then did the usual work to the runners.

Cool deal, did you completely remove the ridges that stick out into the exit runners in the middle layer of the intake?

Yes. Removed them and tapered the wall real nice. All the work we had in it, I would have figured a bigger gain.

No doubt, I'm about 5 hours into my FAST and haven't even bolted it on to match it to the heads yet. Hopefully I'm not pissing in the wind here.
