I'm planning on a set of ET heads for mysetup, I'll probably be on a fast with them for awhile, unless their new intake hits the shelves within 6 months....

The FAST manifold is already a restriction, why would you want another restriction (I.E. crappy heads) in the equation. You've already got one part holding you back, why would you want two?
