Default FAST intake burst pressure?

I'm moving over to the FI world, I have the FAST 90mm intake from my N/A motor I also have an LS6 intake. I see the complaints about leaking. But I know how much of a power difference there was from the ls6 to it and there is no way I want to lose that. So is 18 psi going to blow it apart? Anyone doing it?

If u must have the fast get the 102 its been shown to hold more psi and flows nicely. But if it where me which it was at one time I would sell the fast get a ls6 and have xtra cash to boot for your build which is exactly what I did just my .02

When you boost the motor you'll never know the difference of it not being there. You'll find when you come to the F/I side of things that chasing a couple hp here or couple hp there isn't worth it as you already have so much more power on tap that is usable everywhere that it's really unneeded for something that might fail on you.

Get the LS6 intake, have the TB ported and call it good.

If the LS6 intake is good enough for MM to use and run 8.5's with it, then it's good enough for my slow *** car.
