On a big cubic inch motor it will. I've seen 60 HP on a 427ci at 12PSI. Not much improvement on a 346ci, if you're stock cubic inch, stay with an LS6.

some of the fast people have broken the lower box of the fast as it seems they don't like a lot of boost. It is the only reason that is holding me back from getting one.

is this a consistent issue or more or a random-type of problem. I have a 90mm fast and looking to boost over 15psi, so if this is a problem, would it be in my best interest to invest in a single plan, besides the added flow figures they acheive on FL apps.?

I've seen the fast on several setups but have also heard of them breaking. Not sure but I think the vic jr with elbow will require some hood modifications or an aftermarket hood. Not sure though.
