Has anyone ran a FAST intake with boost yet?

Oh yeah... FAST. If I had the cabbage, I'd get one, but the difference from the LS6 just doesn't inspire me to spend the additional 5 hundy...

Stealth, ever thought about running a Holley aluminum intake? You can direct port them and put a bag of ice on it before each race.
Remember I have one and I'm having great luck with it. It does not get that hot at all. A Little hotter than the LS6 or LSX sure. But it's not that big of a difference. Also remember that you can port the intake to match the heads.
I did my 621RWHP pull with a hot motor and hot intake. I was driving in warm weather for about 30 minutes to the dyno day. 10 minutes after I got there it was my turn and I pulled on the dyno with everything being hot. Did 2 pulls. 1st one spun the tires at 5,000 rpms on the dyno. 2nd pull 5 minutes later did 621RWHP.
Pretty cool to see the tires spin on the dyno..

IMpressive numbers.
YA the LPE intake.
Go here you can see the intake and the dyno graph.

Not too bad with 11psi, the small P1 blower, and a stock displacement motor.
You can port out the TB hole quite a bit bigger than where it sits now on the aluminum intake. Only draw back, I needed to use GM silicone around the ports to make a tight seal. The intake is very nice but they provide a crappy paper gasket between the heads and intake. I was having Vac leaks from time to time. GM grey silicone cured that right up.

UPS is picking up my LSX today to be returned to TR for a credit. I bought it before FAST disclosed that they have only tested it to 10 psi and that it probably would not hold my boost. In fairness to FAST, if I really wanted an LSX, I could epoxy and bake it so that it becomes one piece and would never leak, but it's just not worth it for me.
