pushrod like noise after fast install after installing the fast today i could hear the pushrod noise a little better than before is this a common thing??? runs good but needs a tune
Most people notice a bit more engine noise due to the FAST not having foam under the manifold to deaden the sound and it mounts pretty close to the valley bolts as im sure you noticed when you swapped the bolts.

yea i noticed that but also i didnt have any foam under my LS6 intake because i had the ls1 style coolant line so i had to grind grid off the bottom of it. only thing i can really think of is bigger plenum and thinner construction of the manifold
i wouldnt worry about it.. usually after i do a mod i hear all sorts of new things... more than anything, cause i am trying harder to listen..
you open her up yet? happy with your purchase?
did you ever decide on a cam?

yea i punched if from like a 25 roll and spun and spun and hit rev limiter and and hit rev limiter again and shifted and spun and spun and when it finally grabbed i was damn we movin and looked down and was already going 70. once it gets tuned ill like it alot more but so far im happy with it.
I'll be going with the MS4 but im not sure if i should install it at 111 or 110

another 10hp would be awesome!!
well from the cam cards ive seen i think its a 111+1 and i dont know if i should install it straight up "dot to dot" or advance it or retard it
other mods right now are 4.10s, 3800 stall, LT's, 228R cam!! As soon as i get the coin im going to get some TFS "cnc'd version" 215's and YT Ultralites along with the MS4. I'll have the cam in a few weeks

I noticed more noise too. My engine was quieter than most cammed LS1's I've heard with the LS6 intake. Very little valvetrain noise. FAST claims stronger materials than OEM, but anyone who has compared the two know that the GM intake is much more substantial.
just because you hear more noise does not mean that it is weaker... the FAST intakes are substantially stronger than an ls1 or ls6..

i think the harder material and bigger plenum volumn is what contributes to the noise, also being closer to the valley.
Man i have a Nitro Daves kit but its supposed to be sold to a guy, he hasnt been on here in a few days and weve been dealing back and forth for like 3 weeks now so im not sure if im going to tell him im going to just keep it or what

I don't believe that for a second. It may be harder, but not stronger. The FAST intake looks and feels brittle. The fact that more noise is heard backs that assessment as "softer" materials insulate sound much better than hard and brittle material.
