I loctitied the hardware. Made sure the gasket was in properly between the shells and put rtv in there.
I have seen guys run to 20psi on them. I am a bit afraid that my burst panels might burst prematurely .

I plan to take mine to likely 15 to 20psi max next season see how it works out.
My burst panels went on my APS car with only 7lbs and 50miles on the entire setup.

Im sending my manifold into FAST this week.

Hmm well guess I beat that by about 4950 miles! Did you get a backfire?
Wonder if some burst panels are defective maybe and let go early.

I mainly stayed with the fast 90 as had it prior to going FI and also liked it for the direct port nitrous thing. Guess see how it goes as take the boost up
likely within next few months. Have to give those new LG snails a workout sooner or later.

Is there anyone that has run the fast 90,92 or newest 102 is it? with burst panels for a long time at up to 20psi with no problems?

No backfire, I think they were just defective. They blew after a light 3k shift during tune.

I have a 92/92

Default FAST intake.

Other than the fact it looks better than a stock LS6 intake, many have posted
that they gained very little by adding an expensive FAST intake and the money
saved can go to something else. Just a thought, but the FAST tops off the looks
of the engine better than a stocker, but the stocker is less likely to split.
