fairly sure thats just an Ad bot but to answer your question and ask one of my own....

I dont know if people have taken them to 25psi but mine is holding at 16psi, there is another guy who just posted about problems at 16psi. If you search FAST intake in this section you should get some more answers.

Now my question...what are the specs on your engine build? Got any pics?

Under boost, there's no need for a fast which would reduce the risk of blowing one up 100%.

You can always add the burst discs if you do run the FAST to avoid disaster to the manifold and your wallet.

The newer FAST 92mm intake manifold has a lot of upgrades over the old FAST 90mm intake manifold. I have not heard how the 92mm intake is holding up, the 90mm intake gave some people problems with boost leakage.
With boost the LS6 outperforms the LS1 intake manifold, I would think the FAST 92mm intake would show good gains over the LS2 intake manifold. Bob
