intake/tb worth any significant gains on my fi setup?
#22
I do not have solid #'s for a FAST only, but I will say we seen some good #'s from a D1SC equipted 4th gen. recently which one of the upgrades was a FAST.
swapped parts:
LS6 intake to ported 92/92
Dynatech 1 3/4 w/ cats to Kooks 1 7/8 without cats
ATI twins to ATI race FMIC
ATI stock inlet to ATI truck inlet
seen 2 psi increase @ 6800 rpm
picked up 135 rwhp and I'm confident the FAST was worth something here

Comparisons from a turbo car have no relevance whatsoever, as boost/airflow are so easily changed. They are not fixed the same way they are with a blower.
Something like the ProFlo may be worth having. I personally dont believe that most intakes will offer any real improvement.
Ive a carb/elbow on mine and I still believe it performed better all round with the LS6 intake. I mainly changed for looks, and now that I'm using 2inj per cylinder, this would be difficult to achieve with a plastic intake.
I would consider swapping to a ProFlo at some stage though.
There just seems to be so little back to back testing of intakes with a supercharger. At least not that anyone releases. I guess that means most dont offer improvements or someone would be shouting about it.

It's clearly a very very good design to start with, with lots of airflow potential.
I'm sure there are some better options out there. But nobody is shouting about them, or proving them.
